I got that much, Andrew--said codebase is on my machine now. But Brad's comment seemed to imply that everything that wasn't a "developer" workspace was in jdk7, and I was trying to confirm that this wasn't the case.

My understanding is that the developers each have their own private workspaces, clones of the projects you list above, and are making changes to their workspaces and will promote them to the master workspace when they're confident it's reasonably safe (meaning, none of "Oh my God, dude, your foobar code broke the whole thing!" to be heard) to do so. I'm still a little wet behind the ears when it comes to distributed SCS's.
