Here's what is currently in the pipeline for JSR 292:

7013417: JSR 292 needs to support variadic method handle calls
Summary: Implement MH.asVarargsCollector, etc., and remove withTypeHandler.

7012650: implement JSR 292 EG adjustments through January 2010
Summary: misc. EG changes and polishes (excluding 7013417)

7013730: JSR 292 reflective operations should report errors with standard exception types
Summary: remove NoAccessException, replace it by ReflectiveOperationException subtypes

7012648: move JSR 292 to package java.lang.invoke and adjust names
Summary: package and class renaming only; delete unused methods and classes; add @since tags; no code changes
