Plug-in server itself does not directly issue AR System Java API calls. [Rather it is the AR System server that initiates calls into the plug-in server.] Any way, individual plug-ins themselves can issue API calls as they wish and the API version they bind to can be of older or 7.1 (although I would advocate folks to use the 7.1) version as long as the dependency listing is properly defined in the plug-in configuration. Same thing applies to any other external package class/jar dependency your plug-in may have. Can old version server talk to 7.1 Java Plug-in server? Technically yes. However "old server & new plug-in server" is completely an unsupported combination. So, honestly, we did not spend any effort in ensuring that this in fact works. We indeed are aware of some use cases where folks wanted to deploy 7.1 plug-in server with their Java plug-ins into a pre-7.1 Server environment.
