The primary goal of this Project is to produce an open-source implementation of the next major revision of the Java SE Platform.
Detailed information on the approved features can be found on the features page. The JDK 7 development schedule is divided into a sequence of milestone cycles. Please see the builds and integrations page for detailed build and integration scheduling. A complete calendar of the entire development timeline is also available.
Status: Milestone 6 complete; Milestone 7 in progress
Milestone 6 was completed with build 84, which was promoted on 2010/2/18. The first build of Milestone 7, build 85, will be promoted on 2010/3/4.
In November 2009 the overall schedule was extended with three more milestones, to at least September 2010. This will allow us to complete several features still in the pipeline, including Project Jigsaw, and also consider a limited number of additional features such as multi-catch and lambda expressions.
