When I saw the vote and your text I *implicitely* thought you mean Java source and compiler target version. Explicit is better than implicit :P But we should clarify what "Support only Java 7" means. IMHO, with source/target set to 1.6 we still transport the message "this code works on Java 6". Current state using Java 1.6.0_45: API compiles and tests pass. Server compiles but there a dozen test failures. So we know that there are problems when using Java 6, on the other hand I guess 98% of the features work with Java 6. Anyway, here is my +1. Kind Regards, Stefan
