ooh - when did that change ?

So if I use the java library available for AS 7 Final I can use that with AS 7.x and EAP 6.x ?

And if I need to access new features/bugfixes in the client and uses i.e. EAP 6.1 library that will
also work with AS 7.0 and EAP 6.0 and as a consequence AS 7.x/AS 6.x ?

i.e. what im trying to avoid/reduce the bundling of N runtime libs with the tools.
