Release Themes
The main themes of NetBeans IDE 7.0.1 will be the following:
JDK 7
Full certification on the final release of JDK 7. This is distinct from the JDK 7 new language features that were introduced in NetBeans 7.0. For 7.0.1, the focus is on running the IDE itself on JDK 7, as well as full support for running user applications on JDK 7 as the target platform.
NetBeans 7.0.1 will also be bundled with JDK 7.
Bundle GlassFish 3.1.1 update release
GlassFish 3.1.1 will be included in NetBeans 7.0.1. More information about this GF release can be found here; promoted builds are located here.

Quality and Testing
Documentation
No new documentation planned. Existing documentation will be updated to work with 7.0.1 if needed, but the expectation is that the required changes will be minimal.
Update Centers and Userdir
Same as NB 7.0 - module updates of 7.0.1 will be available on 7.0 UC
Also the userdir will be the same as for NetBeans 7.0.
We may separate the update centers and/or the userdir if we find severe compatilibity issues that we can not fix for 7.0.1.
New and Noteworthy
A New and Noteworthy document for 7.0.1 is not needed, as this is a bugfix-only release.
