upcoming Public Review

[John Rose]

Next week the JSR 292 EG will be submitting documents to the JCP to initiate a formal Public Review.  It will be 60 days long, and will (we hope) be quickly followed by a Proposed Final Draft and spec. finalization.

All this is a required part of the process for formalizing JSR 292 and releasing JDK 7.

I have posted a preview of the spec. in the usual place:
  http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jrose/pres/indy-javadoc-mlvm

An archive copy is here:
  http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jrose/pres/indy-javadoc-mlvm-old/2011-0204-rename

Note the package renaming.  At present this is spec-ware only, since it will take a little doing to teach the JVM about the new package.  The parts that don't actually work yet are marked #-buildable in the MQ series file:
  http://hg.openjdk.java.net/mlvm/mlvm/jdk/file/tip/series

In the archive directory are some nicely formatted diffs:
  http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jrose/pres/indy-javadoc-mlvm-old/2011-0204-after-0202
  http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jrose/pres/indy-javadoc-mlvm-old/2011-0202-after-0115

(etc.)

Best wishes,
