    I have read recently on a post by EvilSeph that bukkit supports only JRE6, but I have been using the latest version of JRE7 ever since it came out.

    It wasn't until 1.6 release that people have been having disconnects with errors while running 7.

    Does it really matter if you run 6 or 7 for server? If so, how?

    Thats not the case. Java is backwards compatible, means you can run programs that are complied with an older version of java.

    This is also incorrect. It won't work if it uses new features introduced. Plugins compiled on Java 7 will not work on machines running Bukkit with Java 6, as well.

    Sorry, but what exactly is incorrect in what I said? I said, that he can run the server on java 7 (and doesn't have to use java 6), because java 7 is backwards compatible to java 6.

    Edit: Oh I think I see what you missread.. I should have added a comma there maybe:

    basically, everything compiled with java 6 will run as easily on java 7.
