[ale] Fedora 19 and Java 7

[Ed Cashin]

It seems like with all the unit test (and unit test framework) buzz and the
ubiquity of virtualization, there would be money to be made selling an
online compatibility test service.

You could upload your unit tests to the service along with the latest
implementations, and it would respond with a report displaying a
compatibility matrix with your unit tests and the various incarnations of
the JVM.

I suspect the annoying licenses that some JVMs have would make such a
business impractical.
