Pierre Smits commented on OFBIZ-5567:
-------------------------------------

Adrian,

May I suggest to remove the r11.x and r12.x versions from affected versions? 
Java 7 came out in the second half of 2011, which is later than when we 
introduced the r11.x version, and only 9 months before we introduced the r12.x 
version.

The reason I am suggesting this is that probably most who have a r11 or r12 
OFBiz setup will have the java 6 version. 
Of course, we don't have any hard data on this. But it is commonly known that
# people and businesses (especially those who have economical dependencies) are 
reluctant to something new as it will require change and implementing change 
costs
# changing a winning team introduces risks.

As we haven't released r13.x yet, fixing this for that release candidate would 
be appropriate. But a patch for the other releases would suffice. That way, 
users of r11 and r12 can decide for themselves if and when to apply it.

Regards,

Pierre

Further more it would lessen the burden of implementing it in the appropriate 
branches
