Based on this we may want to hold off on JDK7 b/c I know a number of the SIS
devs are Mac-based. Unless there is some other solution?
Actually I'm on Mac too, but this is Lion (10.7). On this version, I
didn't meet any problem with JDK7. However in my understanding of some
blogs I have read, I think that Oracle has no intend to port JDK7 to
earlier MacOS.
The proposal would not force users to migrate to JDK7, since we would
maintain a JDK6 branch. However it could force developers to use JDK7 if
we select that version as the trunk. A possible approach could be that
we keep "trunk" on JDK6, I create a JDK7 branch, do my development on
that branch and test merging with today SVN. An inconvenient is that
trunk would not be really "trunk" for everyone - I mean my commit
messages would likely be more detailed on the JDK7 branch... If we
realize that this approach is too difficult in practice, we would
revisit then.
