You can work on 5.4 branch with Java 7 for most cases as long as you
don't deploy with it.

need to juggle between JDKs...

 What it means in practice is that you might have issues building XWiki
 with Java 6 from now on (and will probably be impossible in not long).
 We don't yet used much Java 7 API but if you don't build everything on
 your side you will probably have issues when building a project which
 download on maven repository jars built with Java 7.
 In short: update your Maven setup to use Java 7 when working with master branch.
 Thanks,
 
 I wonder what happens when releasing a 5.x.y bugfix version from the
 usual agent...
