No, I think you're correct, the version history on wikipedia seems to indicate that the release schedule is irregular. Though the last two years there has been a new update more or less every two months. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_version_history > No idea.

That didn't ocurr to me, but it sure explains why I found more referenses to a future u2, rather than a future u1. -- Fredrik Jonson
