The JDK 7 Updates Project in the OpenJDK Community has been around for more then two years, breaking a new ground in how JDK updates are made and trying out a few new things in the process.

The JDK 7 Updates Project in the OpenJDK Community has been around for more then two years, breaking a new ground in how JDK updates are made and trying out a few new things in the process.
This session will go into lessons learned from producing updates to the JDK as part of an open source Project. Some of the new things worked, while others required some tweaking. I'll cover lessons learned on a broad set of technical issues, from forest and repository management, tagging, development processes & transparency to release management and communication.
