>From Mark Reinhold on the jdk7 list:

'We've reached Milestone 12, also known as the "Developer Preview" release.

We'll strongly encourage developers, deployers, and end users to download
and test this build and submit bug reports promptly, ideally by the end
of March.

For reference, the proprietary Oracle builds can be found here:
http://jdk7.java.net/preview/.

Pointers to other builds are welcome!'

We need to get our Free builds up-to-date ASAP to provide an alternative
to the proprietary Oracle offering.  IcedTea7 is currently horribly behind.
