1. Please do not top-post. 2. There is some time (months?) before next Tomcat 6. I think ECJ version will be updated. 3. The more people use and say there are no issues, the easier it is to update. In your case, to use Java 7 features in JSPs you would have to also reconfigure JspServlet (using compilerSourceVM / compilerTargetVM options) to target Java 7. Best regards, Konstantin Kolinko --------------------------------------------------------------------- I see that the default values for compilerSourceVM and compilerTargetVM are 1.5 in Tomcat 6 and 1.6 in Tomcat 7. It would need to be changed to 1.7 in both, correct? I know this is starting to creep out of the scope of this mailing list somewhat, but is changing these values in $CATALINA_BASE/conf/web.xml the ONLY way to configure Tomcat to compile with 1.7? Can something not be specified in web.xml to make it use 1.7 for that particular web application? Or context.xml? Or anything else? If there's not another way to configure it, I believe I'll put in an enhancement request. I know it may be months or years before it gets done, if ever, but I think it would be a good improvement.
