Old projects compatible with Java 7

Question

My old projects use Java 6 (1.6), and I don\'t know when I update (Java 7), they can run fine ?

Answer 1

There is an official list of known incompatibilities between java 6 and java 7 from Oracle (including descriptions of both binary and source-level incompatibilities in public APIs).

Also you can look at the independent analysis of API changes in the Java API Tracker project: http://abi-laboratory.pro/java/tracker/timeline/jre/

The report is generated by the japi-compliance-checker tool.
