I see that Sun JDK 1.6x is recommended (or required?) for NWDS 7.3, but this is an outdated version of JDK which my company prefers not to have installed. I found that there are some ways around this, to make NWDS run with a newer version of JDK like 1.7x (as in this thread:

Has anybody had experience with type of work around? If we experience any technical issue in the future, will SAP deny support due to use of an unsupported version of JDK?
