Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-18700:
-------------------------------------

We have a few options here, but not really ;)   We're basically stuck and have to wait for new API =P 

Our current API only has a minimum execution environment. If we move this up to java7 for eap6.x,  then unfortunately java6 will no longer appear as an option to users for any eap6.x server.  This obviously isn't acceptable. We should ideally have a minimim execenv, a maximum, and a default, for each server/runtime type. 

The second problem is that AbstractJREComposite unfortunately fills its data during its constructor, rather than fit in with the workflow of the other widgets like RuntimeHomeComposite  which are created first, and filled after the runtime working copy has been created.   That should be an easy fix, though, and may open the possibility that we could ensure different default / min / max execenv depending on the inner details of a given server home. 

But, since we're lacking that api, and currently only have minimums, I think we're pretty stuck here until API addition has occurred.
