OSX java version issues

The unit tests are failing because the java.util.Objects class cannot be found at runtime (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Objects.html). java.util.Objects was added in java version 1.7, and should be missing from version 1.6.

It seems as though version 1.6 is the default for OSX, but even after going through the trouble to upgrade the JDK, the error persists. I think this is just a java configuration issue on a system with multiple versions, and many forums seem to concur that this is a known difficulty for users.

We should figure out if this is a real bug or just a configuration issue -- and if so, provide configuration instructions.

Block API wrappers for Java

Create a Java API for authoring blocks so that the user experience is best reflected by what’s expected by a Java developer.
