Do I install JRE 6 or JRE 7?
After making a fresh install of Windows I am now faced with installing the Java RE. But i see there is a new version (7) available while version 6 is still maintained.
What version should I install? Is 7 backwards compatible with 6 (will my javabased programs like Eclipse etc. work with it?)
I can't really find any information about what the difference is between the versions from a consumers perspective.
