Nope. Private development machine. And we are making desktop apps --
shocker, I know.

Nothing is ever just straightforward plug-and-play, whatever is advertised.
Simply downloading and running an installer for JDK 7 will not be
sufficient. Either stuff will just chug along merrily using 1.6.0_13 or
stuff will break. It happened before when our shop finally updated to Java
6 from Java 1.3, a few years ago. Without a compelling reason it just
doesn't seem worth the hassle.
