1.2.17 shipped with a reference to a java 7 class (see CASSANDRA-7147). As consequence, the source don't build on java 6. Regarding the binary artifacts, they are still targeted to java 6 so the only thing that doesn't work is the use of the new cloudstack snitch (which is new in 1.2.17). So anyway, having a 1.2 release for which the source don't compile with java 6 is not ideal so I propose the following artifacts (which fix that problem) for release as 1.2.18. As the diff with 1.2.17 is really small, I also propose to stick to a short 24h vote.
