Jolokia uses JRE 1.8 classes while supporting 1.6

[tuijldert]

Importing sources into Eclipse, it starts complaining about missing java.beans.Transient classes.
This is correct as that is not part of JRE 1.6, only of 1.8.

Jolokia 1.6.0. therefore does not support JRE 1.6.

@tuijldert if you feel fancy, you could try out to build from branch pr/java-1.6 to verify that it really works with Java 1.6 (and JBoss 5).

BTW, I though that JBoss 5 at least runs with Java 7 (and afaik Jolokia is also able to run with Java 1.7 up to the latest version)

I feel very fancy indeed, @rhuss. Works like a charm. As far as I'm concerned, 1.6.1 is a go 👍.

Wrt. JBoss, all I could find (Google) is a "Redhat JBoss EAP 5.2" version that was made available for Java 7, the JBoss 5.1 community version was tested but apparently gave SOAP an indigestion.
Still, I'll give it a whirl, see what gives...

Thanks for an awesome package btw. :)
