I am looking to develop spring boot application with STS using java 1.6, will this be possible with STS. i know that latest STS supports java 1.8 but i want to know whether it works for 1.6 or not?
STS itself requires a JDK8 to run, but it can be used to implement projects against JDK6 (or even earlier versions). The compiler level and JRE/JDK that you use for your projects is completely decoupled from the JDK that STS uses to run on.
