Oracle has an official preview release of Java 7 for Mac OS X: http://jdk7.java.net/macportpreview/ It is not clear to me what the relationship is between this and the Google group's package. * Why update 2? - "The reason…is due to" does not read right. It should be "The reason…is that Java 7 GA was…". * "pik" is a utility to manage multiple Java versions on Windows. https://github.com/vertiginous/pik * The editor/stickler in me always says "a couple NOUNs" is wrong. It should be "a couple of NOUNs". * Java Preferences is in /Applications/Utilities. I do use LaunchBar to open it, but it should be pointed out, if the user prefers Finder. * It would be nice to have a *wow* benchmark that shows how beneficial invokedynamic is for JRuby. A simple benchmark in the "try it out" section would be fine, I think.
