Re: [m2e-dev] [m2e-users] moving m2e to java7 past kepler sr0

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!!!
-Martin

I've pinged Martin Lippert from STS who confirmed similar numbers but he'll follow on this thread with the exact numbers.

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).
