-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Require Java 7 for the IDE
                 Key: JBDS-2949
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-2949
             Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio)
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
            Reporter: Max Rydahl Andersen


Run the IDE with Java 7 (Java 6 no longer supported) (Users applications and servers can still use older and newer JDK’s like Java 1.4,5,6, 8 etc.) P1

Java 6 is no longer supported by Oracle and by requiring Java 7 we can use better native IO and JavaFX (only on oracle)

Forge already requires Java 7.

Concerns: If we do not run with Java 6 we cannot support Xulrunner based VPE on OSX.
