Since it seems I have broken my server again after updating my Ubuntu system (see my mail earlier today) I’m going to create yet again a new server.
Because v2.3 is already in release mode I’m considering that version instead of v2.2.5.
In the last months I’ve build and rebuild several servers all with Ubuntu but differences in Geoserver versions and java versions (oracle/openJDK).
With my last server I was very please with the Oracle Java repro of webupd8team. But I had installed Java 7 with GS v2.2.3. Later I understood using Java 6 was recommended. Everything seems to be working fine for me but after the update of this morning GS will not start anymore.
So I think I have two options. Use Java 6 and v2.2.5 or use Java 7 and 2.3.
I thought I have read GS v2.3 is compatible with Java 7. Am I correct?
If I can use v2.3 I might be able to reuse my current server, since the rest is still working great.
So please help me decide how to continue since my current server is broken again.
Thanks,
Paul

I was under the impression that GS 2.2.x ran fine under Java 7? The recommendations for Java 6 was during the early releases of Java 7. I have been running GS 2.2.4 with Java 7 (along with GeoNetwork) without problems (yet) on Windows 2008 Server, although I haven’t really pushed things. For my organization, the security concerns related to the version of Java trumps which version of GS to use.

It mostly works fine, but there are a few things that definitely break with Java7, for example
some parts of security.
The 2.3.x series is the first that received some testing on JDK 7, and got fixes accordingly,
but the only officially supported JDK is still 6
