<snip>
Support for IBM Java SE 6.0/6.2.6 (5770JV1 Option 11 and 12) will be
discontinued on April 2018. After this date, no additional fixes or PTFs
will be produced for the 5770JV1 Options 11 and 12.

This will affect 7.1 and 7.2. There is no support for Java 6 on 7.3.
Of course, with any luck, they'll give the years notice for End Of Support
for 7.1 effective that same date (or sooner).
