If an IT-department is unwilling to upgrade the JVM's, what makes you
think they'd be willing to upgrade Eclipse and m2e? I'd consider them
both vital part of the "locked down" development platforms. So why is
this a problem?

Igor,
You write: "Does anyone have a good reasons to stay with java 6 past

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?

I see little/no reasons to stick with this version any longer.
Does anyone have a good reasons to stay with java 6 past this coming
