OpenJDK community code review server
The OpenJDK project has announced the rollout of a Community Code Review Server. The server will offer public access to "webrevs" from the project. As Tim Bell explains, "if [a] change is a bug fix, we use a script called webrev to inspect modified files and generate a collection of web pages showing the proposed changes. The pages are hosted on a web server and a link to them is circulated as part of the review request."

There is no JavaFX Mobile. There is only JavaFX.
As we promised last summer, the next release of JavaFX coming out soon. For desktop developers you won't notice too many changes, mostly bug fixes (and a feature or two). The big news is that this will be our first release with full mobile support. —  Joshua Marinacci

Dropping support for Java 5?
So, I'm about to decide to drop support for Java 5. This means I'm losing most of potential users on Mac OS X. On the other side of the coin, the saved time would contribute in having more regular releases (I haven't made an official release of blueMarine for more than one year - without them I'm probably losing all the potential users).  —  Fabrizio Giudici

Re: Java 7 / Modularity, Zero, OpenJDK, and JavaME
I was reviewing one of the presentations from Devoxx (https://webarchive.library.unt.edu/eot2008/20090209094843/http://blogs.sun.com/abuckley/resource/Devoxx2008-ModularityInJava.pdf - slide 4) about the modularity and saw with the modularity work, they envision being able to run JavaME applications on JavaSE. As the power of the handhelds improves the need will reduce, but there will always be lightweight devices that could still use the platform. — 

Re: web start app client fails in 64-bit openjdk and glassfishV2.1
The URLs used for the Java Web Start support do not correspond directly to directory structures named the same way on the server. This is to prevent malicious users from using the Java Web Start support to browse the server's directory structure. So it's not surprising that you didn't find directories named in parallel with the URL path or that creating them yourself didn't help; the server is not looking there for the file(s) but maps the paths to the correct on-disk locations. —
