Woo! Great news!

This is indeed really great!

It has been a few months now. Is there already a roadmap for how and when the code will enter the repositories? Will it go into jdk6 first, or will it go through jdk7. Will it be part of the M4 milestone that has all the other 6u10 backported features?

Thanks,

Mark
