JDK 7 build 27 is available at the openjdk.java.net website

[Kelly O'Hair]

The most stable sources (changesets) will be those tagged by Xiomara
and that represent the promoted build.

As various teams push changesets into the master area jdk7/jdk7
(http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7) these changesets should be
solid but they have not gone through the release engineering build
promotion process like the promoted build changesets.
Also, because of the timing of the pushes, it's rare but possible that
doing a forest pull from all the jdk7/jdk7 forest could get
some but not all of the changesets a team may have pushed into this
forest. Like I said, this is an extremely rare event.

Pushes of changesets into the jdk7/jdk7 forest only happens a few
times a day, based on integration slots listed here:
   http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk7/builds/
These time slots are dedicated to the team doing the integration,
allowing them reserved access to the jdk7/jdk7 forest for uninterrupted
pulls, merges, and the pushes.

Hope this helps.
