G1 status in JDK1.6 Vs JDK1.7

[Jesper Wilhelmsson]

Hi Bharath,

The first supported release of G1 was with 7u4. The 7u4 version came 
with significant improvements and I do not recommend doing performance 
evaluations with earlier versions.

If you decide to move to JDK 7 and try G1 please share your experiences.
