Following a successful Java 7 launch day (event replay is here) and multiple community events taking place this summer, we now have a final approval on Java SE 7 from the JCP Executive Committee.













The Final Approval ballot passed with 15 YES votes, and 1 NO vote (Google). Other JSRs (NIO2, InvokeDynamic and Project Coin) all passed with a unanimous YES from all participants. Update: check out Mark Reinhold's post.

Now on to shipping the final bits! Can you wait another 9 days?
