JDK 7 Developer Preview

blogs.sun.com

Features: http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk7/milestones/

List of general goals: http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk7/features/

Dynamic languages should see a performance increase, apps requiring high concurrency : http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk7/features/#f515

It's interesting that there is no Mac version of this. Perhaps an indicator that JDK 7 for Mac is going to be delayed?

I've been using OpenJDK builds found at http://code.google.com/p/openjdk-osx-build/. As far as I can tell, the OpenJDK project itself does not include the port as part of the JDK7 release but more so as a related project between Oracle and Apple.

The Mac OS X port will not be ready in time for JDK 7. It's more of a JDK 8 timeframe project. In the meantime, you can build it yourself; the only feature difference from bsd-port is i386/x86-64 universal binary support.

Why are they sending the page with the "Content-Type: text/plain" header?

They don't, at least not on my ff.

Must have been a temporary problem, seems like it's sending the correct headers now.

(For the record, I had the problem in both Chrome and Firefox)
