Nick Boldt commented on JBDS-2949:
----------------------------------

[~jpallich] I think we need a section of the weekly call dedicated to shaming people into actually replying to JIRAs like these, with outstanding ACK requests. Or forcing them to triage these DURING the call. Either way. :)

[~ldimaggio] [~mmurray] [~burrsutter], please ACK or explain why you can't, and request more info.

> 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.
