All the Coin features should work well in builds as recent as b137. We're using 
them in the JDK itself. If you're building from the command line you don't need 
any compiler or VM switches to enable them. If you're using NetBeans, you may 
need to change the source-level to 7 to enable the new features. The default 
source-level in NB is 6 (at least that's what it was in the NB 7 betas).

Also, the Coin features have evolved, so it could be that you're looking at 
examples that used to work but which are no longer allowed. Could you send a 
pointer to the examples that aren't working for you so that we can make sure 
they get updated?

Thanks.
