Java Magazine: What are the most important
aspects of Java SE 7 for developers, system
architects, and the entire Java enterprise?
Reinhold: There are four tent poles in this
release: Project Coin (JSR-334, a set of small
language enhancements), the new
invokedynamic bytecode instruction (JSR-292),
New I/O Part 2 (JSR-203), and the fork/join
framework. Each of these offers new and valuable options for developers.
