John,

thank you a lot for such an effort with that example! I will try this later.

But first, I have few non-technical questions about JSR-292 in JDK7.
(Sorry, I'm not sure, if these questions has been asked a lot already.)

1) Which JSR-292 features will people be able to use with standard (non-customized) JDK7 builds in the future?

2) Will there be a possibility to call methods (whose signatures is unknown prior runtime) much faster than
   it is currently the case with reflection (Method.invoke)?
   (Or asked differently: my little dirty benchmarks, posted here before, showed bad results using JSR-292 features:
   it that just because nothing is finalized and optimized yet?)

3) If these questions can't be answered yet because certain decisions are yet in progress,
   when answers could possibly be expected?

Thank you!
