Current develop branch compiles fine with 1.6 and 1.7 (for me).

Does it actually have any effect?

What may make more of a difference is having 32 and 64 bit versions?


BTW OSX users this might come in handy - add to your ./~bash_profile.

function setjdk() {  
  if [ $# -ne 0 ]; then  
   removeFromPath '/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home/bin'  
   if [ -n "${JAVA_HOME+x}" ]; then  
    removeFromPath $JAVA_HOME  
   fi  
   export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v $@`  
   export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH  
  fi  
 }  
 function removeFromPath() {  
  export PATH=$(echo $PATH | sed -E -e "s;:$1;;" -e "s;$1:?;;")  
 }


To set the java version then you just need to go:

setjdk 1.7

or 

setjdk 1.6
