Yes, this might be. I'm afraid, this would become a BIG THING for me, as 
I'm not familiar with the JDK7 contribution process, Mercurial, and how 
to create a suitable NetBeans project to serve this.
I hesitate to install JDK7 on my system, as it is less than Beta.
Also my goal is, to provide a jar, which users could use with JDK6 by 
-Xbootclasspath/p.

Is there any sample NetBeans project regarding hacking the JDK7?
How can I commit my steps of work against your Mercurial server? (At 
java.net I only have Subversion)

What you think:
- Can I simply use the the JDK7 sources of sun.nio.cs package, compile 
them against JDK6 for my development and test runs, and then create the 
patch from there?
