    7.1.2 is the last version I've seen. 7.1 is also the latest version available as a trial version, so I would guess "no".

    Sorry to bump, but has Blaze Advisor 7.2 for Java been officially released?

    Blaze Advisor 7.2 supports only the following versions of Eclipse:

    1. Eclipse 3.6.2 (Helios) 32-bit Eclipse with a 32-bit JVM
    2. Eclipse 3.6.2 (Helios) 64-bit Eclipse with a 64-bit JVM
    3. Eclipse 3.7.2 (Indigo) 32-bit Eclipse with a 32-bit JVM
    4. Eclipse 3.7.2 (Indigo) 64-bit Eclipse with a 64-bit JVM

    Other versions of Eclipse are not supported.

    The requirements for installation include:

    1. A minimum disk space of approximately 2 gigabytes.
    2. The minimum memory is 4 gigabytes.
    3. An installed 32-bit Java Virtual Machine (JVM), version 1.6.x. This is only a requirement for the Blaze Advisor installer. (To download a 32-bit JVM, see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archivedownloads-javase6-419409.html.)

    After Blaze Advisor is installed, you can use Blaze Advisor on Eclipse with either a 32-bit or a 64-bit version of Eclipse and a 1.6.x or 1.7.x JVM.

    Caution When some newer versions of Oracle JDK 1.7.x are installed, the process may automatically uninstall the latest version of your Oracle JDK 1.6.x installation. You may wish to install Blaze Advisor first with a 1.6.x JVM and then install JDK 1.7.x.

    1. A valid Blaze Advisor license.
    2. A clean directory in which to install Blaze Advisor. It is recommended that you do not install to a directory where you have previously installed or uninstalled another version of Blaze Advisor.
    3. Use a directory name without spaces.
