It's a different story for the groups of users just now adopting jdk7.
The situation is a bit grim for those using jar files with>64k entries.
jdk7 is not only creating jar files that are unreadable by jdk6 - they
are also unreadable by the jdk7 launcher! With no visible benefit for
the user!
Just to be clear, do you mean just executable JAR files (java -jar)? I
assume that library JAR files on the classpath or elsewhere with >64k
are not an issue.
