The only program that doesn't work with Java 7 afaik is minecraft, the specific problem can be tracked here:

Hopefully we can have enough users complaining that the devs will take notice.

Replacing the 32-bit libraries with their 64-bit copies, and running minecraft with LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/java/jre/lib/amd64" makes it work properly here.

Awesome! I'm now fully on java 7 :)

I would like to hear about anyone else's experience also which will give me some more feedback.

Cheers!

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but is this about the binary jre/jdk releases or the open source openjdk. I currently have openjdk6 (and icedtea-web) installed in my system (x86_64) but did not find an equivalent package for Java 7. Thanks in advance. Regards. Keshav

have you read the comments on that page? http://blogs.oracle.com/henrik/entry/moving_to_openjdk_as_the#comment-130790...

I couldn't find a great link that explains it, but the main diffs are that jre/jdk provide proprietary extensions and provide better a better runtime experience. Note that reference implementation only means that it is a correct implementation of a specification and does not mean anything else.

Good point. I didn't read all the comments because almost all of them were just bashing Oracle for not supporting Apache Harmony. I've never noticed the difference between the Reference Implementation and the actual jre/jdk released by Sun/Oracle before. -- A: Because it obfuscates the reading.
