FYI, this is only true for Chrome running on a MAC because that Chrome
version, by default, is only 32-bit.<br>

We have to upgrade java to Java 7 due to some very real and
actively exploited security vulnerabilities in Java.
We have bent over backwards to set up tests and help see to what
extent EVLA software will be affected. We have never and never
will impact EVLA operations even for something as serious as this,
on the other hand EVLA software can't assume the world outside
is frozen, a calculated risk was accepted in using something
like JAVA, the benefit is high level language, the downside is
moving target.
Figure out what you're doing and let us know.

<pre wrap="">Marie has been going around scaring us into testing our stuff under Java
7 in anticipation of a very near-term upgrade. There are security issues
with Java 6, which is reaching end-of-life in February, and it is
desired (by whom I'm not sure) that we sidestep the backporting delay
this way.
