Re: Fwd: jEdit 5.5.0 is out!

I wouldn't provide this on the official download page Dale.
This way we can say that 7 is not supported.
If we provide this on the official download page, we officially support
Java 7 again.

Besides that, not installing Java 8 on XP because it is not supported
sounds pretty strange when XP itself is not supported anymore since long
time already and actually is pretty unsafe.

I doubt there are many situations like that.

Cheers
Björn
