"Developer Tools: In addition to OpenJDK6 support in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, the newly introduced OpenJDK7 allows customers running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 to develop and test with the latest version of open source Java. "
Yet in the CentOS 6.3 release notes, the only mention about "OpenJDK" is for OpenJDK 6...
http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.3
"7.4. Packages released as 6.2 updates with older packages on the 6.3 install media
apr-1.3.9-5.el6_2 apr-devel-1.3.9-5.el6_2 java-1.6.0-openjdk-src-1.6.0.0-1.48.1.11.3.el6_2 java-1.6.0-openjdk-demo-1.6.0.0-1.48.1.11.3.el6_2 java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel-1.6.0.0-1.48.1.11.3.el6_2 java-1.6.0-openjdk-javadoc-1.6.0.0-1.48.1.11.3.el6_2 java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.48.1.11.3.el6_2 "
Is this because OpenJDK7 is not included, or because it is included but not worth mentioning in the rel notes?. (No intention to offend anyone, just thinking aloud).
I am downloading CentOS 6.3 as I write this, so I'll soon find out... yet I wanted to ask anyhow (because perhaps the addition of OpenJDK7 -if present- could be added to the wiki?).

Neither ... :)
Those files listed are ... (1) rpms that we built for 6.2 updates ... THAT ARE ALSO ... (2) newer than we put on the 6.3 ISO.
That is a very specific set of files and what it means is that the java-1.6.0-openjdk files on the 6.3 iso are older than the files you would have on a fully updated 6.2 machine.
And yes, java-1.7.0-openjdk was in 6.2 and it is in 6.3 ... but the rpms we built for 6.3 are newer than the rpms in 6.2-updates.
We put the older files on our 6.3 ISOs (the ones listed where you quoted) because we are mirroring the versions in the upstream EL release, which are also older than the 6.2-updates. We did, however, move the newer rpms into 6.3-updates, so you will get them as updates to the 6.3 install.

I guess those are very valid reasons. The explanation was a little convoluted and my lack of sleep prevented me from actually understanding most of it, yet I managed to decipher the last paragraph... so if I install CentOS 3.6 I´ll get OpenJDK7 as part of the system updates.... but the files are actually not in the install CD? did I get that right?. :-)
Sorry but I´m on low battery mode after near 20 hrs wo sleep... In any case, I´ll re-read your answer after a good night´s (or day´s) rest and I´ll surely understand it all.
Thanks :) FC

Do a "yum search openjdk" and you'll see that java-1.6.0-* and java-1.7.0-* packages co-exist. I don't think you'll get the 1.7 versions in an update - you'd have to tell yum to install them explicitly.
