Hi Java Enthusiasts,

Podcast #13 from Oracle's Java blog is out now, posted on Jan 19, 2011. In the 20:44 minute long podcast, the discussion focused on,


1. JDK 7 is feature complete: 

The JDK 7 project has reached Feature Complete (FC). This means that development and QA have finished all planned feature and test development work in the release and are moving the focus to testing and bug fixing on all supported JDK 7 platforms. This is a major step towards JDK 7 General Availability (GA) and implies that we are tracking close to the plan published on openjdk.java.net.
