Mark Wielaard: New GPG key.
Finally created a new GPG key using gnupg. The old one was a DSA/1024 bits one and 8 years old. The new one is a RSA/2048 bits one. I will use the new one in the future to sign any release tarballs I might create. pub 2048R/57816A6A 2011-01-29 Key f...

Simplified Varargs Method Invocation
An omnibus proposal for better integral literals
Language support for Collections
Language support for JSR 292
Joe notes that:
The specification, implementation, and testing of these changes are not final and will continue to evolve as interactions are explored and issues cleared.
