Invece hai ragione, lo dicono anche nelle note di rilascio (che ho letto solo ora
):
IcedTea is derived from OpenJDK, Sun's open-source implementation of the Java SE platform. At this time the build from which IcedTea was constructed corresponds to an early build (b21) of JDK 7. When JDK 7 is complete it will implement the Java SE 7 Platform Specification. Work on that specification is underway, but far from final. Any APIs in the JDK 7 implementation, whether new or old, are therefore subject to minor adjustments, major revisions, or even outright removal between now and the time that the Java SE 7 Platform Specification is finalized.
Please take these facts into account before depending upon IcedTea.
Ero convinto che IcedTea fosse basato su OpenJDK 1.6 + il codice preso da GNU classpath, non immaginavo che fosse una beta di Java 7... si sono azzardati parecchio a metterlo di default allora.
