All,
Just in case you've missed it, I would
like to draw your attention to a recent proposal on the jdk-dev list entitled
"Incubating
Language and VM Features".
The conversation on the mailing list starts
here. At its core, I *think*
this means that staying abreast of new language features will require engaging
with OpenJDK rather than JSRs hosted at the JCP.
Important quote:
The Umbrella JSR for the Java SE $N Platform
enumerates the incubating language and VM features in the platform. The
desire for feedback and the expectation of quality means that these features
are not "optional"; they must all be supported in full by every
implementation of the Umbrella JSR. They are specified in appendices of
the Java SE $N Editions of the Java Language Specification (JLS) and the
Java Virtual Machine Specification (JVMS). The Java Compatibility Kit for
Java SE $N checks conformance of an implementation's incubating features
to the appropriate appendix.
If you have any thoughts or concerns
about how this may impact ecj or JDT in general, please comment on the
jdk-dev mailing list. If there is anything I or the EMO can assist with,
please let me know.
Thanks.
