OpenJDK Becomes Official Java SE 7

Reference Implementation

In a recent blog post, Java SE Product Manager Henrik Ståhl an-
nounced that Oracle will create Java SE 7 Reference Implementation
binaries based only on the OpenJDK, will make those binaries
available under the Binary Code License for commercial implementers and General
Public License v2 (with the Classpath exception) for open source implementers,

SE RI source code that allows more-direct comparisons to their implementations
for verifying compatibility, as well as to the TCK on a free-as-in-beer basis.
