And how is this decided? In the JavaOne Strategy keynote there is a slide mentioning the JDK roadmap. The slide can be found on this blog. http://blogs.oracle.com/java/entry/moving_java_forward_java_strategy . Dalibor mentioned this in an email a few months back: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk7u-dev/2011-October/000534.html I see on: http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk7/builds/ that u2 is apparently tomorrow (first I've heard!) but there are no dates for future releases such as u4. I've pinged the maintainer of the calendar. Hopefully we can get 7u4 builds in there soon! If we are going to be working on the basis of release branches and different rules depending on the stage of a release, it would be preferable if such release dates were widely announced externally. Looking through: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk7u-dev/ I see very little discussion of the project, just a mountain of commit messages and approval requests. As an non-Oracle OpenJDK developer, it's very hard to work out what's going on. I'm aware of the process from http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk7u/ but there doesn't seem to be anything on schedule decisions. Help would be appreciated. Thanks,
