I can't find the documentation of Java 7, I can only find about the Java 6, which is still quick or merge. Does anyone know how to find the documentation of the method Arrays.sort in Java 7?

Yes, Java 7 will use Timsort for Arrays.sort. Here is the commit: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/jdk/rev/bfd7abda8f79
