Oracle and Apple Announce OpenJDK Project for OSX; Java SE 7 and 8 JSRs
Approved
http://www.oracle.com/goto/newsletters/javadev/1210/orc_blogs_osx.html?msgid=3-2961338464txt

Good news all around! Oracle and Apple announced the OpenJDK project for 
Mac OS X. Apple will contribute most of the key components, tools and 
technology required for a Java SE 7 implementation on Mac OS X, 
including a 32-bit and 64-bit HotSpot-based Java virtual machine, class 
libraries, a networking stack and the foundation for a new graphical 
client. OpenJDK will make Apple's Java technology available to open 
source developers so you can access and contribute to the effort.

Furthermore, the JCP Executive Committe has approved the JSR "quartet" 
for Java SE 7 and Java SE 8. With this ratification, the Java standard 
will progress through the JCP while the open source reference 
implementation will be delivered through the OpenJDK project. See you on 
OpenJDK!
