Hi Mark, > Now that Oracle are controlling Java on OSX we can no longer "blame > Apple"
Well, the new problem is that Java 7 only runs on Lion or later. So then I blame whoever made that decision. It has forced my projects to stay with Java 6 (which can for the most part be run in a Java 5 environment too using Retrotranslator) for the foreseeable future. > I'd love to see the default become Java 7 now. > And if one needs to lock down to the older versions, lock them down. I agree, actually. That said, I think Java source/target versions are analogous to Maven plugin versions, in that it is safest to *always* lock them down, for all the same reasons.
