OpenJDK 7 source releases (original) (raw)

Will <http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk7/> be updated to include security and other fixes, or is this source release set in stone?

I'm asking because I saw this in README-builds.html (from the jdk7u forest):

| NOTE: The Complete OpenJDK Source Bundles | <http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk7/> will contain the JAXP and | JAX-WS sources.

If there are self-contained source releases, I wouldn't have to jump through hoops to integrate the source drops. But I don't want to miss security fixes, either.

On the other hand, if <http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk7/> is not supposed to receive future updates, it shouldn't be referenced from README-builds.html, IMHO.
