It is best for now to stick with the latest Java version, which is Java 7=
=20
as you have (although you should upgrade to Java 7u5 - minor version=20
numbers represent bug and security fixes, things you don't want to=20
miss).

Out in the wild you'll be asked to use all kinds of old or funky (or both)=
=20
Java versions. Many of us have had to work on Java 1.4 projects, even=20
recently. But while you're learning, stay with the current version.

This is in line with mimicking good code even for areas you haven't=20
studied yet, such as starting your GUI on the EDT.

As they said in Star Trek (the original series) (paraphrased):=20
It is easier for a civilized person to pass as a barbarian=20
than for a barbarian to pass as a civilized person.
