If an IT-department is unwilling to upgrade the JVM's, what makes you think
they'd be willing to upgrade Eclipse and m2e? I'd consider them both vital
part of the "locked down" development platforms. So why is this a problem?
its two different dimensions - runtimes installed/used considered part of the OS.
Again, if move to Java 7 actually provided end-user value and users were moving fast to
Java 7 I would be much less concerned :)

I don't know if you ever worked in the IT department of a large bank,
offshore consultancy company or a similar institution, but... these
organizations want to control the amount of support and maintenance by
locking down the used platforms. "Retarded"??? I'm pretty sure most IT
people would make the same choices given the available resources in the IT
departments!
Java 7 might make your life easier, but is that really reason enough to
alienate an insignificant part of your users?

I'd like to propose moving m2e to require java7 execution environment

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
