Java 7 is the first release of Java that I've had trepidation about
moving onto. A number of Java applications I use failed silently on 7:
no exceptions, just some commanded operation or the other wouldn't
happen. As soon as I pointed them back at 6 the apps worked perfectly OK.

I see from release notes that a number of these apps have fixed
*something* since last summer that lets them work with Java 7. On the
other hand, when I see an application release note that's worded like
"this now works with Java 7", and the timing of that note is shortly
after a Java 7 update, was it the app that got fixed, or Java? Short of
asking each and every one of these application teams what it was that
got fixed, which I don't have the time for, I'm assuming that it was Java.

I haven't seen a single enterprise customer that my company works with
move to Java 7 or express interest in moving onto 7. Given that the new
owner of Java didn't come out with a Java 7 capable WebLogic until
November 2011 (WebLogic 11g 10.3.6) I don't suppose that anyone who has
to deal with Java EE app servers or other middleware can be blamed for
being cautious.
