Each Java vendor has its own schedule.  AFAIK, none of them release updates on a fixed schedule, but I could be wrong.  It's just that in all my years as a Java programmer I've never seen one pre-schedule updates.  I have always inferred that updates occur as needed to address defects.

No idea.  I think "7u1" refers to the initial public release that came out in July.  IOW, the release subnumbers apparently are 1-based, not 0-based.

Have you looked at the bug database for this?

Like you, I am unable to find a hint of when 7u2 will be out.
