Alternative to running java 1.7.0, is to compile the program on Java 1.6.X

Compile the src:
$ cd ducky-decode/trunk/Encoder/v2/src
$ javavc Encoder.java
This should generate a class file, to tun the code
$ java Encoder

if it runs, the jar file in ducky-decode/trunk/Encoder/v2/ is essentially a 
zip, mv encoder.class to this dir
$ cd ducky-decode/trunk/Encoder/v2/
$ mv src/Encoder.class ./
$ zip encoder.jar Encoder.class

then run it as normal
$ java -jar encoder.jar
