My point was that, given that Java 7 is 2 years old, there aren't a lot of reasons that I see for why Java 7 couldn't be the minimum version or why we had to support Java 6 a while longer. I'm comfortable with the minimum version being 6 or 7 at this point. The risks that there are people unable to upgrade to Java 7 (if they haven't already) are likely to be fairly low. ---Brett. > > brett lentz <bre...@gm...> wrote: >> >> >> >> On Tue, Jan 28, 2014 at 6:51 AM, Stefan Frey <ste...@we...> wrote: >> >>> All users of rails, >>> For the upcoming version 2.0 of Rails my intention is to move to Java >>> version 1.6.
