Igor,
You write: "Does anyone have a good reasons to stay with java 6 past this
coming
June? ("my IT department is too retarded to allow java7" is probably not
a good reason)."
I don't know if you ever worked in the IT department of a large bank,
offshore consultancy company or a similar institution, but... these
organizations want to control the amount of support and maintenance by
locking down the used platforms. "Retarded"??? I'm pretty sure most IT
people would make the same choices given the available resources in the IT
departments!
Java 7 might make your life easier, but is that really reason enough to
alienate an insignificant part of your users?
