Putting it into another way (imho): we should reach public draft by June 2009 if we want to target JDK 7.

All, The current position regarding JSR-310 and JDK 7 is that we are currently behind the timeline. At present, I tend to work 3 hours a week on JSR-310 as I have a full-time job, and no support for in work JSR time.
Clearly, at the rate of progress of 3 hours a week, it is unlikely that JSR-310 will be in JDK 7. Things can change of course, and this will be kept under review. Bear in mind that other specs (JDBC, NIO2) have potential dependencies on JSR-310, so the timeline is critical.
Major areas outstanding are: - time zones - leap seconds - internationalization of formatting - lenient parsing - review of periods - writing the spec
Further topics, currently on the back burner: - intervals - iteration over date-time - additional calendar systems (including historic Gregorian-Julian) - performance tuning the algorithms - checking consistency of methods (minus methods match plus methods etc)
If members of this mailing list, or others in the community, want to help with moving JSR-310 forward, then please let me know. One clear area to be worked on is a strategy for leap seconds.
