[1.6.4] Java 6 or 7?

So, I'm ready to actually distribute a mod I've been working on and I see that Minecraft requires Java 6 or 7.

Since Java 6 has been End-Of-Lifed, should I just build my binaries using Java 7? or get the last Java 6 release for compatibility?

    Use Java 7.  Because J6 is end-of-lifed there's no reason for people to still have it.

    Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

     

    Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

     

    DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

    That is the exact same deal with people who dont want to upgrade their consoles (xbox360, px3 etc.). In my close environment they are complaining that they now only going to make games on the next gen consoles.

     

    It's like, why don't we compare squirrel with an elephant? Its pointless, most of the time you should use the latest versions on anything. Though there exceptions.

    I am fairly new to Java and modding, so my answers are not always 100% correct. Sorry for that!
