The usage of words "valuable" and "evidently" is very subjective in this context, since i haven't seen any evidence of true community feedback, or any sign of a transparent decision / development process in JDK 7.

I think that it's pretty self-evident that the JDK 7 development process is a lot more transparent then any previous JDK's before. This discussion wouldn't have been possible in the bad old days.

In the interest of a making the development process more transparent, are there any specific things you're working on for OpenJDK 7 yourself, or are you just an interested lurker? Nothing wrong with the latter, but it tends to be easier to understand development one's actively engaged in.

cheers, dalibor topic
