Slashdot

LarsWestergren writes "David Flanagan, the author of Java in a Nutshell has a nice writeup (the first in a series) of the state of the open source development of the next version of Java. The article explains the difference between the JDK7 and the OpenJDK projects and how to join them. Furthermore, it has an overview of the release schedule, proposed language changes and projects of interest. A more technical and in-depth tracking of the language changes and proposed new features can be found at Alex Miller's blog ."

Hmm, downvoted from yellow to green within minutes. As usual Slashdot doesn't seem very interested in stories about Java unless they are negative. Probably won't get posted. Too bad.

Edit: Hey, seems it was accepted! Nice, my first in a year or so. :)
