>> When is the EOL for java 6? http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html
<http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html>-- One table inside "Java SE Support Roadmap" is saying "Jul 2012" as EOL for Java 6. -- Another table inside "Java for Business Support Roadmap" is saying "Dec 2016" as EOL for Java 6. I think for now and more then one year we can keep continuing to support Java 6 for all development and production deployments purpose.
