My company is working to proactively test our software to ensure everything in our code will be compatible with Java 7.

Is there a Java 7 compiler available for Eclipse 3.6 that I could install in order to begin this endeavor? If not, are there plans to release a compiler prior to Eclipse 3.7? We want to try to have as much time as possible to ensure compatibility.

Thanks in advance for any information surrounding this.

Even if there is no java compiler that supports the new language features in Java 7, there is nothing that prevents you from running on top of a Java 7 VMs.
If you are not using Java 7 features, you only need to run on a Java 7 VM.

Did I miss something ?

No Olivier, you didn't missing anything...I did!

We have our own extended version of JList and when I first got the the JDK for Java 7 installed on the IDE, there were some compile errors in our version of JList.

After some research though, it turns out the issue was around a Maven refresh. I just jumped the gun and made a bad assumption! Got our App running on the Beta version of 1.7 now and I am checking compatibility.

Thanks again for the responses.
