No so... Remember that Eclipse can be installed everywhere - Java cannot.
That is a good point. However, I've never been able to understand why
inertia in some organizations product department should be allowed to
hold back technology progress for the developers. If an organization
does allow upgrades of Eclipse (and hence upgrades of their development
environments), then I find it very likely that they will allow the
developers to use Java 7 as well. The fact that the developed product
then runs on a Java 6 JVM is not relevant. m2e is all about development.
The resulting artifact may well run on much older platforms.
So, It's not like anything is taken away. It's just a statement that new
stuff will require other new stuff. If you don't like new stuff, then
just stay with the old! But don't expect all others to do so just because.
