JDK 7 Build 147 is the first Release Candidate

[mark.reinhold at oracle.com]

After an initial round of testing we've declared build 147 to be the
first Release Candidate for JDK 7.  If no new showstopper issues are
reported, and if JSR 336 [1] and the component JSRs pass their Final
Approval Ballots in the JCP, then this will be the GA build for release
later this month per the schedule posted back in January [2].
