2020 (8 years from now) is about when all of the software code will be ready.

The production version of the F-22 first flew in 1997, first entered service in 2005, and today in 2012 still doesn't have all the software required to take full advantage of it's ground attack capbilities.

The F-35 isn't even in service yet, so 2020 is a reasonable time frame.
