Currently im working on another aspect of LO development which is taking 
up my time currently. If I am not mistaken for the most part when new 
versions of java are released, they try to keep it as backwards 
compatible as possible, granted some methods or classes might become 
obsolete. Maybe once java7 goes live ill do some testing and see how 
badly things break.
