I want to switch to Java 1.6 from 1.5 but I think it's better to go with 1.7 instead of 1.6. Is 1.7 stable or still in beta?

As an LTS release, Oracle JDK 17 will receive performance, stability and security updates for at least 8 years following the Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) schedule as outlined in the Oracle Java SE Support Roadmap. Oracle JDK 18, the next six month cadence release is now scheduled for in March 2022.
Java SE 11 OR 17 remains the preferred production standard in 2022. While both 9 and 10 have been released, neither will be offering LTS. Since it's first release in 1996, Java has maintained a reputation for being one of the most secure, reliable, and platform independent languages for computer programming.
Is JAVA 1.7 stable or still beta version?
Technically it is still in beta.
So is 1.7 is stable?
This is the current time plan:
- 2010/12/23 Feature Complete (M11)
- 2011/02/17 Developer Preview (M12)
- 2011/04/12 Rampdown start: P1-P3 bugs only
- 2011/04/28 API/interface changes: Showstoppers only
- 2011/05/11 All targeted bugs addressed
- 2011/05/18 Bug fixes: Showstoppers only
- 2011/06/02 Last scheduled build (M13)
Final test cycle starts
- 2011/07/28 General Availability
Decide for yourself when you consider it to be stable :-)
Since the API/interface changes was fixed (except for "showstoppers") yesterday I would consider it to be fairly stable. (I wouldn't use it for nuclear power plants or space rockets just yet though.)
