The Equinox project has several requests to move up to Jetty 9 for its http implementation (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=401784). The Equinox http implementation is the underpinnings of the Eclipse Help system. Jetty 9, or more specifically the servlet 3.1 specification Jetty 9 implements, requires Java 7.

This is a request to the Eclipse PMC to approve the move to require Java 7 in order to run the Eclipse help system for the Mars release. All other components of Equinox which the Eclipse project uses plan to still support Java 6.
