They have a good road map that extends till august and expecting to produce a final prototype. If I remember correctly, Java 7 is scheduled for release at beginning of next year. To me, this looks like an entierly reasonable timeframe for getting closures in Java 7. I got my fingers crossed. “highly unlikely” sounds exagerated in my ears :) Last I looked, the closures group on openjdk.org looked live and kicking.

When I look at that api, I get a feeling that there's too many rocks for the bugs to hide under. I've found that simpler code produce simpler bugs, so I think I'll skip this one and wait with closures until Java 7 when we hopefully get a more clear-cut syntax for the concept.
