I notice that a snapshot of the Java 7 API has been up on java.sun.com for some time, but I only just had a look through it just now, looking specifically for the promised JodaTime-inspired Date/Time API. Alas, I can find no mention of it in the published docs.
Is this because it simply hasn't been done yet, and this published API is an early, incomplete snapshot, or because the idea has been quietly dropped?

Last I heard, JSR 310 was running behind and might not get into Java 7. And yes, that's a huge shame - although at least we've got Joda Time as a stopgap until then.
