Not to mention debacle it creates on your system. Android requires/plays-well with JDK 6 and you probably want to be running the latest version of Java for security purposes. Maintaining multiple JDKs have been nothing but troubling for me.

Uhm... Android tools work just fine with the newsest stable JDK 7.

I hear not all libraries are supported. developer.android.com and almost all tutorials/courses recommend using JDK 6.
