Hi all,

What is the schedule for jdk7u releases?  And how is this decided?

I see on:

http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk7/builds/

that u2 is apparently tomorrow (first I've heard!) but there are no
dates for future releases such as u4.

If we are going to be working on the basis of release branches and
different rules depending on the stage of a release, it would be
preferable if such release dates were widely announced externally.

Looking through:

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk7u-dev/

I see very little discussion of the project, just a mountain of commit
messages and approval requests.  As an non-Oracle OpenJDK developer,
it's very hard to work out what's going on.  I'm aware of the process
from http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk7u/ but there doesn't seem
to be anything on schedule decisions.  Help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
