Ah, but that is totally fine then. It's actually the same scenario with 
Eclipse: The base Eclipse platform (and most official Eclipse plugins  - 
that is, the plugins released by eclipse.org) are made to run in JVM 6. 
But if you write a plugin that requires JVM 7, then you must run Eclipse 
with a JVM 7, naturally. (BTW, that's the case with DDT)

If you guys are writing an Intellij plugin for D, requiring the user to 
run it in a JVM 7 is perfectly reasonable. Even JVM 8 is trivial to 
install. There is not point in making your (the plugin developer's) life 
harder when installing a JVM 7 is trivial, in any OS.
