Yes, I will do that if needed for the minor.minor versions. Otherwise, personally, I'm uncomfortable relying upon jenkins. Do we have developers who are building with JDK 1.6 or JDK 1.7 ? If we don't, and can't foresee it, why bother supporting it? It's just additional overhead, imho. regards, Mick
