Hi Glyn, You may also notice the link "Latest JDK 7 binary snapshots" goes to a page titled "Java™ Platform, Standard Edition 7 Binary Snapshot Releases".
The JDK7 at java.net is Sun's Reference Implementation of the putative Java SE 7 Platform Specification. It's not the OpenJDK "JDK7" project. Let's not be uncharitable to the build engineers who are just following precedent in assuming the eventual existence of a Java SE Platform Specification.
