last i heard of java 7, the loop bug was still an issue and the overall opinion was it wasn't ready for a production environment. but that information was as of a few months ago, it may have changed since then. i know that for my client, im recommending staying with java 6 in production until our next generation systems are ready, sometime in 2013.
