New API in JDK7

[Andrew John Hughes]

I thought this might be of interest to those who want a quick overview
of actual API changes in JDK7 so far.  With Classpath, we use the
japitools developed by Stuart Ballard
(http://sab39.netreach.com/Software/Japitools/42/) to compare how well
Classpath implements the APIs provided by various versions of the JDK.
 The same can be done to see 'how well OpenJDK6 implements OpenJDK7'
or rather what's changed since JDK6:

http://builder.classpath.org/japi/openjdk7-openjdk6.html

There's also the inverse:

http://builder.classpath.org/japi/openjdk6-openjdk7.html

which shows anything missing in OpenJDK7 that was in OpenJDK6 (some
xml methods and one Swing method it seems).

Currently the results are based on IcedTea builds of b16 of OpenJDK6
and b66 (Milestone 4) of OpenJDK7, and will be updated to new builds
as they are released and supported by IcedTea.
