Mark *just* finished talking, so, hot off the presses, my notes from
his keynote presentation at Devoxx 2010:
## JVM Convergence
Not particularly specific talk about 'HotRocket' - the idea of
integrating JRockit VM and the Hotspot VM.
Showcasing Mission Control and Flight Recorder, the VM introspection
tools of JRockit. No mention of the 'premium VM' news that was in the
news a week or two ago. Mark never specifically said Mission Control
or Flight Recorder are going to be in OpenJDK or the free Oracle JVM.
## Java Plan B:
Java 7 released Mid2011, then the features planned for Java 7 that
aren't close to done yet, moved out to Java 8, to be released Late
2012. Mark says he's "pretty confident" about these dates:

Mark shows the Umbrella JSRs for Java7 and Java8 having been submitted
to the JCP earlier today.
OpenJDK will remain GPL+Classpath Exception. IBM and Apple are going
to contribute to OpenJDK. The OpenJDK governance structure will be
rebooted. Mark expects a MacOS implementation of Java7 available
within a few months of general availability of the Linux and Windows
implementations.
Release schedule of Java7. Mark again states he's "pretty confident":

NB: I'll clean this up and post it to my blog later.

I got the impression that the aim was to integrate with Maven central, rather than compete with it. Other repos could be plugged in, I think.

I can see modules pulling directly from a local repo will be great for
deployment stuff.
