Hi devs,
I would like to propose that we move to Java 7 as minimum version in XWiki 6.0.
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 ?

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.

New subject: [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Move to Java 7 as minimum supported version (SUMMARY)
Result of the VOTE:
- 8 binding +1 and 3 non-binding +1
- no veto
The VOTE is passed!
So what do we need to do now:
- change the top level pom to reflect this (compiler setting + release plugin config)
- modify agents on CI to use Java7. However we probably need to leave some agents on Java6
to build 5.x branches.
Anything else?
Thanks

+1, Java6 has been EOL for a year already, and almost all GNU/Linux
distributions are using J7.

Not a big deal to upgrade Java when one upgrades XWiki, IMHO.

As a side note: I've been using the latest version of Java 7 in all of my
tests for approximately 1 year now and I didn't encounter any issue related
to it.
