Mark Struberg mentioned that he was going to start work on commons-annotation-1.2. I haven't seen any concerted effort to start building all Java 7 specs. Nor any effort to track Java 7 spec creation. A Jira with sub-tasks is probably a good way to start. Perhaps you want to give it a try? (Since it seems you may have an itch… ;-) --kevan
