I think Jave 7 and JRE7 is fine.

Java 6 is out of public support since Feb 2013:

GWT must go forward. 2.7 Java 7, 3.0 Java 8. Specially when it only effect 
development environment.

[Artur Signell]

Hi, 

Even though most people have moved to Java 7 already there is still some 
interest in using Java 6. As this closure compiler version would be the 
sole reason for requiring Java 7, I would be interested in putting in some 
effort to see if we can get the lastest closure compiler backported to Java 
6. This would keep GWT 2.x compatible with Java 6 and leave the breaking 
change for GWT 3.x.

Daniel, are you looking to use the latest master or v20140814?

Ok so I'm the only one how thinks this might be a problem for us.
We're using GWT in a real large company environment (core banking system) 
and to create a baseline we have to use our companies build server. These 
are currently running on Java6. I've already reached out to get an 
information when the Java compile level will be increased.
This is just my opinion speaking for a real large company.

There are other JDKs than the one from Oracle.
OpenJDK 6 is still supported for instance (under the leadership of 
RedHat): 
http://www.redhat.com/en/about/press-releases/red-hat-reinforces-java-commitment-and-assumes-leadership-openjdk-6-community
This EOL is also only about public releases; you can buy support from 
Oracle and get up to an indefinite support for Java 6 or even 
5.0: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html

[David]

No problem, we are on Java 7 for quite some time. I would not even object
to Java 8 for the client side only, but I guess that can wait for 3.0.
GWT/GUI development is really screaming for lambda's with all the event
handling and async callbacks.

Hi Arthur,

I am actually using an internal version of the css parser (which has not
been mirrored out yet), I needed to do this cause we needed to fix bugs in
it in order to pass our build.
