-- I might caution against having users download java 6, assuming they have
no java 7, due to security concerns and possibly other inconsistencies with
whatever OS they are using.
Bottom line -- I'm not sure we should change the java download to version 6
over 7. Maybe others feel there is a compelling reason for this downgrade,
I don't know.
as an FYI -- I have java 7 installed and no problems so far.
Java7 does not work at all with AOO under 64 bit Windows.
There are reports about popular extensions being incompatible with Java7.
