Well, he'll be waiting on his distro to move to that release [1] and I can understand why they would be reluctant to do so if u40 has not been released. It includes a new implementation of JSR292 and, to my knowledge, we've not yet had a build of it pass the 7 TCK. The problem here seems to be that Oracle have included changes in the proprietary release of u25 that are not in OpenJDK as tagged u25. Can you shed any light on what these changes may be and their bug IDs?
