Java 1.6 Compatability

RSQL-Parser is currently not compatible with Java 1.6 but it easily could be. It just uses <> and "|" exception matching which are 1.7 source level constructs. Other than those two things, it's fine for 1.6. I have found this project useful but I'm constrained to 1.6 by customer environment. Would be nice to make these small changes and have it work for 1.6.

I’ve merged (and fixed) your PR in branch jdk6 and released version 2.0.0-jdk6 (it’ll be in Maven Central in few hours). However, I do not plan to backport future updates to it.

JDK6 is 9 years old and 2 years ago has reached end of life. I don’t want to support such ancient version just for some reactionary companies.

Wow. Thanks. I know what you mean about jdk6. Im dealing with government
systems that are VERY slow to upgrade. I grabbed the source and fixed it
myself but having it at maven central will get it out of my source tree.
Thanks!
