Java 6 branch isn't taken into our consideration, am i right?
We publish snapshots of the Java 6 branch [1]. Given the significant
overlap in code between Java 5 and 6 the release schedule usually covers
both.
Did you have a new piece of work you wanted to introduce in Java 6?

Yes. I thought that we had a well understood procedure now that we are on
our seventh milestone -- but I guess it is still necessary to call it out.
If so, I think
(1) We should follow Tim's policy "no more commits please without
agreement from two committers on the dev list" before code unfrozen.
(2) We need to nominate the M7 candidate revision, do more testing,
analyze the critical/blocker issues and raise the issues MUST be fixed for
M7.
The code is frozen for new features or non-critical bug fixes this week.
Nathan asked that he gets his suncompat code in there, which is fine since
that is disabled by default anyway.
I checked my code in last night, so I'm good to go for testing.
The focus is on stability and passing our tests. We should discuss any
non-critical bug fixes and later this week expect to nominate a release
candidate.
(p.s. I'm disappearing on vacation for a couple of weeks after this week,
so I'll only be around to help up to that point)

Tim
