This document is being drafted and may some incorrect links. In addition, many proposal spawned more than one mail thread. We've tried to keep the link to the original proposal, and to any major follow up revisions. If there was more than one submission (revision) of the proposal, that will appear as "(V1)(V2)...(Vn)" in the "Thread" column.
The search link will run a search for the proposal's title on Google custom search for Project Coin 2009, with priority in the search given to the mailing list contents.
Proposals Accepted for Inclusion in JDK 7
On August 28, 2009, Joe Darcy announced the final selection of proposals accepted for JDK 7 in this blog entry.
Two proposals, "Binary Literals" and "Underscores in Numbers" will be combined, possibly with additional support for unsigned literals.
Another two proposals, "Collection Literals" and "Indexing access syntax for Lists and Maps" will also be merged and included, "...assuming the technical problems are resolved." (Darcy)
