[~nickboldt], docs-ack is entirely new - don't blame me for not knowing it had been activated on the JBDS jira project! Also, seems I don't actually have permission to set the value of the field.

> 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.
