Jigsaw was the really big feature. But, there is still quite a bit of very useful stuff in current jdk7 builds:
- Dramatically better standard date/time library (jsr310) - NIO2 - fork/join framework and concurrency lib updates - Auto resource closing and other minor syntax enhancements (coin) - InvokeDynamic support for non-Java languages All of the above seem like they have stabilized for a while, so I'm disappointed that even a scaled back no-jigsaw release is pushed back to mid-2011. I've been using jsr-310 and nio2 on jdk6, but third party libraries won't support them until they are in a released jdk. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
