So - Oracle Java 6 is no longer supported by Ubuntu, at least, nor shipped any longer. OpenJDK 6 will wind down support this month, if I'm understanding things correctly: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk6-dev/2013-January/002835.html We should deprecate Java 6 in 4.2 - continue to support it, but be very loud that we are going to cease officially supporting Java 6 after 4.2. If that means we bump 4.2+1 to 5.0, then it's probably going to be time to do so. Best, jzb -- Joe Brockmeier j...@zonker.net Twitter: @jzb http://www.dissociatedpress.net/
