RE: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] [resources] Java7 / JSR203 and EFS

PS if you're interested in when Java7 is likely going to be officially
available, here is what Alex Miller [1] (who I believe is pretty deep in
Java7) thinks:

The official word is summer/fall 2009 but I don't believe that.  I think end of '09 is an optimistic target and mid '10 is probably realistic.  But maybe I'm wrong.  The major and likely chunks to be included are pretty far along so if they got real serious, who knows.

The bulk of the attention right now seems to be going to Java 6u10 and JavaFX which are both nearing release.  I suspect once those are out the door, Java 7 will start getting some love.  Unless something else tickles Sun's fancy.

So, thinking about mid 2010 as a realistic target would be quite interesting
for e4 given that June 2010 is likely our planned FCS date too...
