Hello, all. Please see below for a draft spec of language changes to support local variable type inference ('var').

If you haven't read it already, you'll want to look at the proposal [1] and Brian's summary of design considerations and community feedback (sent to platform-jep-discuss) [2].

With that context, here's the spec document:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dlsmith/local-var-inference.html

I'll follow up with some supplementary background on design considerations, beyond what's covered by the platform-jep-discuss email.

Feel free to respond with your feedback.

Thanks,
Dan
