Thanks, as i suspected, there's a build problem when your boot.java is 
set to a JDK 7 build - the build process ends up trying to compile JDK 7 
classes with the -source 6 option. As a short-trem fix, I will change 
ProxyHelper to be JDK 6 friendly, and, in the meanwhile, I will work so 
that this underlying build problem is fixed in baseline javac.

Thanks
Maurizio
