Hello Ted, On this particular case I want to use try-with-resources. In general, Java 7 code is more compact and more readable, thanks to the new features such as diamond operator.
It's hard to deal with inertia, for sure, but IMHO every submission of Java 6 code creates more technical debt. So, at the other projects I work on, I switched to 7 as soon as possible. Switching to the next version is inevitable and I find the sooner the better.
