Java SE 7 Caught on Camera
Filed under: javase7

What with open sourcing the JDK and all, our early head start on Java SE 7 planning has slowed from a run to a trot. Not to worry, every thoroughbred needs to catch its breath between races, with Java SE 6 only on the verge of completion. And there are good signs we can get the Java SE 7 planning team here at Sun to pick up steam again in the New Year.

But in the meantime, I've continued to update our current thinking since last time I blogged about Java SE 7 on where we would like to take the next version of the platform, and what we will be proposing to the JCP. Since I'm now in the video age (I'm sure you saw my debut), what better way than get the update than to watch me talking about it at the infamous Czech Java Users Group in Prague last month.

Java SE 7 Update
For those of you watching the video, I start talking at the 50 minute mark. Rob Harwood fom JetBrains kicks off with a talk on an interesting use of annotations in IntelliJ IDE, and there are various celeb sightings of my techno-buddy Roumen in there too.
