Hi Gordon, it depends on the maintenance effort, maybe get compatibility could be a huge task...or maybe maintain two branches could be harder...sincerily I don't know. I only want to point that left Java 6 and go Java 7 only route could be a problem for or user base and will make people stay in Java 6 latest version but don't go Java 7 since their projects can't be migrated. At least this could be the scenario for a year or two... again I don't know how could be the final public effect.
