Hello.

I've posted documentation of the semantics of the Project Coin features 
as implemented in the JDK 7 developer preview,  b130, at:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~darcy/ProjectCoin/ProjectCoin-Documentation-v0.83.html

Before sending in comments or questions about a feature to coin-dev, 
please read the discussion section after a feature.  Many design 
considerations are discussed in those sections.  Additionally, some 
known bugs in the current implementation are noted in the text.  In 
particular, javac in the JDK 7 developer preview erroneously accepts 
diamond combined with non-generic classes and accepts some uses of 
diamond with anonymous inner classes. These bugs will be corrected in 
future builds.

Happy reading,

-Joe
