Java 6 has been end of life for more than a year now. I think it’s reasonable for us to require java7 in 6.x.
XWiki users who are in production will have about 1 year before upgrading so that should leave them enough time to prepare. @Thomas: I think you should send a Poll mail to the users list to ask our users how much pain they’d have if we switched to 7 for 6.x Thanks -Vincent PS: I couldn’t find any recent stat usage of Java 6 vs 7 in production.

You can look at http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-432 for details on why and why not. The only cons basically is that Java 6 may still be used in production but we are talking about a version that won't be used in production before at least 3 months. WDYT ?
