Right, people using flexmojos, java on server side and so on with Java 6 will have to migrate all to get all the system in the same version of Java. But it implies changes to flexmojos to get working with Java 7 (as Chris said). Maybe people could opt for a gradual migration and start only with flex, and they eventually can have problems with their departments if the migration plan is not solid.
I think it's clear that Java 7 should be conquered, but maybe java 6 should stay here for a while to avoid disruptive escenarios... 2014/1/21 webdoublefx <webdoubl...@hotmail.com> > Velocity is the only dependency have seen which made the build failed at > the moment. > > @Carlos, what kind of impact could it be on client applications ?
