Detailed Description
Java 7 was released on 2011-07-28 and brings several significant changes. Fedora should supply Java 7 along-side Java 7 initially, and then only ship 7 once is it proven stable.
Benefit to Fedora
Fedora will remain up-to-date with regards to the Java platform. Developers using Java on Fedora will have access to new features.
Scope
This would require building and packaging the new JRE and JDK, and updating any packages that may be incompatible with Java 7 based on this list:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/compatibility-417013.html
How To Test
Install java-1.7.0-openjdk Run (as root) 'alternatives --config java' and select the 1.7 version Run 'java -version' to ensure that it is correct
User Experience
Changes will be present but not prominent or massive for most users. Users who install Java will see a new version of the JRE. Developers who target for the Java platform will have a new version of the JDK installed.
Dependencies
Packages involved in the JRE and JDK will need to be changed depending on if there are compatibility issues:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/compatibility-417013.html
Contingency Plan
Java 6 will be kept in the repository until Java 7 is proven stable.
