My 2c:

   - J7 on Mac is unstable (trust me...) and non-performant, and thus I
   require my users to use Apple's J6 on the Mac.
   - On Linux there are lots of Swing bugs in all versions, but a lot less
   in J7 than J6, so I recommend J7 for Linux guys.
   - I don't use J5 for anything at all and none of my code can run on it
   due to basics that are missing there.

I didn't distinguish vendors because the comments apply across all of them
anyway.
Fred.
