For some reason, given Oliver's desire and urging to change to Java 7 in Windows back in August of 2013, I was under the impression that since that time, at least the Windows version was built with Java 1.7.
I've re-read the discussion at http://markmail.org/message/4ieda3xpnoz3ec3h (the Markmail archive is incomplete, but this specific thread is readable) and it seems we discussed for 3 months but that this didn't end in a specific decision. For sure we still support Java 6; I'm not sure about Java 5, but that is quite irrelevant nowadays.
This topic has indeed been discussed in the past. Can you refresh our memories on what you mean by "safest"?
"Safest" in terms of user compatibility. There are mixed opinions in that discussion, but Oliver's first message clearly states that, when built with Java 7, OpenOffice does not recognize Java 6 as a valid runtime; I don't know if it is a detection problem or a real problem.
