Now, the LibreOffice's java code uses the version 1.5 both source and<br>

The cons would be incompatible changes for external users of the URE interface and for people building or running LO against a JDK/JRE < 1.7.<br>
<br>
Would there be any substantial pros (esp. given the shrinking popularity of Java in the LO code base)?<br>
