Java SE 8 EDR Specification: DRAFT 1

[mark.reinhold at oracle.com]

The first draft of the Early Draft Review Specification is available
here:

  http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mr/se/8/java-se-8-edr-spec.01.html

As explained in section 2, many details will be added between now and the
Public Review Specification.  The goal of the EDR is to give a general
summary of the expected content of the release and to highlight notable
changes (e.g., profiles and stripped implementations) that are not
covered by Component JSRs.

I'd like to submit this to the JCP PMO for the formal Early Draft Review
next week.  Please let me know by 17:00 UTC next Tuesday, 22 January, of
any changes you'd like me to make to this document before I submit it,
or if you think that further discussion is required.

Thanks,
- Mark
