Re: [eclipse-pmc] Requirement on Java 7 in order to move up to Jetty 9.

Hi Tom, 

We covered this in the Eclipse PMC call
today [1]. We all agreed that this move makes sense, and we will therefore
drop Java 6 entirely from our reference platform list. As you say some
bundles will continue to operate on Java 6 or earlier but they will not
be receiving dedicated testing.

Requirement on Java 7 in order to move up to Jetty 9.

The Equinox project has several requests
to move up to Jetty 9 for its http implementation (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=401784).
 The Equinox http implementation is the underpinnings of the Eclipse
Help system.  Jetty 9, or more specifically the servlet 3.1 specification
Jetty 9 implements, requires Java 7. 

This is a request to the Eclipse PMC to approve the move to require Java
7 in order to run the Eclipse help system for the Mars release.  All
other components of Equinox which the Eclipse project uses plan to still
support Java 6. 

Tom
