But 2 other important stuff Mark Reinhold said: - Sun will first cut the JDK into isolated modules in Java 7 before adding anything. - Backward compatibility is less important than modularity... WOW!?! Basically there will be a clean Java and then you can add the ugly Java modules for backward compatibility on top.
For the language feature looks like they are really waiting for the community to work on OpenJDK and stop saying: Sun do this! Sun do that! Frankly, I understand them. Java should not be a pure Sun business anymore!
