As someone who is about to heavily start using the Cursive IDE (built on top of IntelliJ IDEA), this is wonderful news. Coming from a frontend web dev background, Java 6 has been a layer of slime at the bottom of the barrel of sweet wine that is Clojure. Now, as soon as Minecraft gets off Java 6, I can rid my system of that infernal scourge.

- fierycatnet 11y agoCursive is great, glad to see it mentioned. JetBrains are doing good for themselves, I hope their Kotlin language will gain some traction eventually too. Cursive is amazing because it's built on top of open source IDEA but I'd like to see Kotlin take off as well. Overall I think JetBrains are doing great.
- russjr08 11y agoHave you upgraded to the new Minecraft launcher? It bundles its own JRE, and I'm pretty sure it's Java 7.
- SquareWheel 11y agoCurrent bundled Java version is 1.8.0_25.

Even if using your own install though, it should work just fine (or even better).
