Re: [m2e-dev] [m2e-users] moving m2e to java7 past kepler sr0
|
I totally agree with the change to Java7. just because when using Java7
you can still produce binaries to the target system in Java6 (if were
required).
People that don't want to change and use new features that only can be
provided by new Java version should stay with the old version. The same
will happen for teams that would like to use new Jetty 9 and its news
features.
Most people that I know and use Mac is moving to Java7 due the security
issues reported with Java6. Btw, Mountain Lion didn't come with Java and
to install one you should use Java 7.

Hey!
Thanks, Max, for the heads-up here.
Yes, I can confirm very similar numbers from both the Spring Tool
Suite and the Groovy/Grails Tool Suite. We have about 55% running on
Java6. This number is even a bit higher on Mac (about 60%).
I also share the motivation for moving to Java7, but it would cut off
something between 50% and 60% of our users (roughly speaking). So
please don't exclude them from new m2e versions that soon...!!! :-)
Thanks!!!

I've pinged Martin Lippert from STS who confirmed similar numbers but
he'll follow on this thread with the exact numbers.
----- Original Message -----
I'd like to propose moving m2e to require java7 execution environment
after Kepler SR0 is out. I am getting really addicted to
try-with-resources syntax [1], and with java6 past it's eol [2]
already,
I see little/no reasons to stick with this version any longer.
Does anyone have a good reasons to stay with java 6 past this coming
June? ("my IT department is too retarded to allow java7" is probably
not
a good reason).
