A modularized JDK6 (backported from JDK7) would be an ideal solution. And probably wiser too - refactoring the whole code stack AND changing the language in one release is no small affair.
I would have liked the news of having a faster JRE soon, with a JavaFX RAD tool. So we could compete head on with Adobe Flex. But anyhow, I'm glad with what I heard @ Devoxx. JDK7 was covered quite well by knowledgeable people. And if it takes some more time, that's the way it will be.
