-JDK7 Not a revolution, but an evolution!
This was an informative presentation of new features in JDK7 and Java SE 8
Henrik talked about the enhancements, and Oracle's strategy on Java. He said that the "Evil Company" wants to support Java for its own good. Oracle bought Java for insurance! He said that there exists some open positions in JDK development team, if you are interested you may contact him. May be you want to be one of 10 thousand Java developer in Oracle.
