Once we verify > it is reasonably stable, we can explore utilizing the G1 garbage collector. > When all deployments are ready to move to JDK 7, we can start using new > language features, but in the transition period we will need to maintain a > codebase that compiles both with JDK 6 and JDK 7. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
