Somewhere in between, most likely around mid-April when the rampdown phase starts. From that point it will become gradually more difficult to get fixes into JDK 7, so it will be important to have a place to put changes destined for a later release. > How will the development proceed from that point on (especially the > HotSpot development): will you use the same HS Express model that is > currently used for JDK7/JDK6?
