Bump google-persist to Java 1.7 and support javax.transaction.Transactional?

[Max Englander]

Hello,

There is an open GH issue to add support for javax.transaction.Transactional, but the OP ran into the issue that javax.transaction-api is compiled with Java 1.7, where-as guice-persist is compiled with Java 1.6:

https://github.com/google/guice/issues/797

Someone on the GH issue suggested posing the following question to the mailing list (and I can't see that it's already been asked):

I personally would be OK with making the persist extension require Java7 at a minimum -- I think we've kept Java6 primarily for folks still using it on Android, but it's unlikely that Android folks are using the persist extension. Maybe send an email to the user list and ask if anyone has objections to making Java7 a minimum req for the persist extension?

For the record, I am not just a messenger, but am also interested in having guice-persist support javax.transaction.Transactional (with or without bumping to Java 7).

Thanks,

Max
