Java JDK7 "dolphin" for Fedora 13 or 14?

[marko]

I don't see JDK7 in the list for Fedora 13 and I think JDK 7 is scheduled to go official
a bit late for Fedora 13. Will java 7 go in Fedora 14?

I think that going from jdk6->jdk7 inside a given Fedora version is too radical even for Fedora.

Java 7 will not be added to Fedora 13.
I’d like to see Java 7 included in Fedora whenever it’s finished. But right now, Sun (err. Oracle) doesn’t even have a JSR for Java 7. In fact, it lacks JSRs for major features, such as Project Lambda. I suspect it won’t even be added in Fedora 14. If you’re interested, you can push for that on fedoraproject.org; I might, too.

Yep. New major versions of new software are only introduced per release, never between releases.

If you need to use JDK 7 now, you can download it from https://jdk7.dev.java.net/. But it is currently very unstable.

Yes, I've built the jdk7 from source, I think I made B85 just a couple days back. But it's better when it's rolled into the distribution.
