Here's a small but important milestone:  The contents of the an mlvm  
patch to the JVM, hotspot/anonk.patch, have been (after testing and  
review) pushed to a HotSpot integration repository:
   http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/hotspot-comp/hotspot/rev/a45484ea312d

Unlike the JSR 292 work on method handles and invokedynamic, there is  
no public API for this functionality at present; it is for  
implementation use only.  That's why it's a minor milestone...

An experimental API for using anonymous classes is defined in the jdk  
branch of the mlvm patch repository.  This API will not be staying in  
java.dyn, since that package is reserved for JSR 292 work.

Best wishes,
-- John
