Get Involved in the Java Community!

Sun Microsystems formed the The Java Community ProcessSM (JCP) in 1995 to include others in guiding the development and approval of Java technical specifications. The JCP is an open group with over 300 registered individuals and companies currently participating as members. While membership will give you additional rights and privileges, all Java programmers are welcome to view and comment on Java Specification Requests (JSRs). Visit the organizations’s home page at www.jcp.org.

JSRs go through a four step process (Initiation, Community Draft, Public Draft, and Maintenance) which involves the JCP Executive Committee, Members, and the general public. To learn more about the process go to jcp.org/procedures/overview/.

Gamelan.com will keep you up to date as new JSRs are announced. Go to the corresponding web page to see specific on each JSR.
