Github user fhueske commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/296#issuecomment-69843776 I agree. We should print a notification message that tells the user that it is not recommended to run on Java6 due to its EOL. As @rmetzger said, Flink runs fine with Java6 but this might change in the future and we want to prepare users for that.
