Besides many technical reason the biggest one is non-technical in my
eyes - no one volunteered to do it. You know it's always a matter of "who will do
the work?". I'm pretty sure that if someone jumps in and say "Hey, I'll
maintain Java 6, fix problems/adopt Java 6 to changes in the OS if neeeded, help
strengthen the switching between JREs, go through the Java projects(shipped in Fedora) and
help them properly set their targets in build scripts so builds properly work on Java 6
and etc" there will be no objection to having Java 6. :)
I installed JDK 7 but Eclipse won't work with JDK 7 on F21 [1]. Why
does it require explicitly OpenJDK 8? Can we not have it search Java
on system? On Arch Linux, packages search for java-environment or
java-environment >= 7?
Do I have to build Eclipse myself if I want to use JDK 7?
