From our perspective...Java 6 would most likely be just as good as Java 7. Important thing to keep in mind is that we need the JDK instead of the JRE in order to compile apps.

The only reason not to update would be fear of compatibility issues (which are usually well documented). Comments Software updates aren't like movie sequels. The new one is almost always better.

But have anyone found a useful tool/features, that would compel one to upgrade from 6 to 7? Comments Sort of like being a penguin, sharks, of course there's no sharks, SHARKS!
