Prior releases took two to four years: http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=270 http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=176 http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=59 Arguably, a lot of the engineering work has been done by now, but if Oracle is planning a mid 2011 release, shouldn't the JSR Review Ballot already be out and available by now? - Sam Ruby
