Hello,
not a very important application, and there may be some workarounds,
but with openjdk7 Minecraft [1] fails to load the correct bundled
libraries on 64bit. From the exception, it appears that it actually
tries to load the 32bit libs, but it fails. Again, this is only for
the bundled lwjgl libraries. Just a small point for keeping openjdk6,
for the moment.

Upstream only yesterday fixed a bug which affects me
(http://icedtea.classpath.org//hg/icedtea-web?cmd=changeset;node=40776f2e940f).
So I'd be grateful if you would wait until that commit comes down to
our icedtea-web-java7 package before dropping icedtea-web.
I think we should move forward to 7. Oracle already announced that
they are moving so the the application must follow. You can always
keep a JRE 6 and JDK 6 locally as optional somewhere else (/opt) or
even at your home folder for your development and for applications and
make alias for them or even load them in your local .profile.

Hello,
Unfortunately tomcat7 won't compile with OpenJDK7. I will have a look
at this (after my holidays next week). This one should be the only of
mine to still require java-environment=6.

Hi,
Many internet banking applications here in Brazil need JDK6.
I'll check if this is still valid for my bank (that's a very popular 
one), but others may cease to work.

Hum ...

It seems the R&D people at my bank have updated the internet banking 
application and now it works with SDK7.
Anyway I don't know about other applications like this, here in Brazil 
and elsewhere...
