One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Established in 1998

A control center for developing standard technical specifications for Java technology.

Manages JSR lifecycle. The core output of the JCP.

• PMO members.

• Executive committee Group.

• Group of Individuals (JCPs), Corporates, JUGs.

• Java Specification Request:

– A single version of a Java Specification. – Lead by a single leader called Spec Lead who

forms and manages a Expert Group (The team who helping on the specification)

1. Specification – Detail document talks about the Spec. The real idea, its

components, integration with other components if any.

2. Reference Implementation (RI) – Complete implementation of the spec. as proof of concept

(POC).

3. Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) – The working examples of the RI against Spec. Proof of the

working. And release the specification as final spec.

Spec.

RI

TCK

Can you build an implementation?

Is the specification unambiguous?

Is the TCK Correct? Does the RI Confirm?

JCP Executive

Committee

• Because Java is One Platform and because we expect Java ME and Java SE to converge over time, JSR 355 was introduced to merge the two Executive Committees into one.

• This JSR will reduce the number of EC members to 25 and will keep the same ratio (2:1) of ratified and elected seats. – It makes no other significant changes to our processes.

• The JSR was completed in August 2012.

• Implementation began during the October 2012 annual JCP

elections and is completed in October 2013, during this year’s elections.

Transparency

openness

Community participation

Are the keys of new JCP Strategy

• Adopt-a-JSR is an initiative by JUG leaders to encourage JUG members to get involved in a JSR and to evangelize that JSR to their JUG and the wider Java community, in order to increase grass roots participation.

• Java EE 8 is scheduled to release in 2015 and would love help from your JUG to adopt a JSR.

• As part of the Adopt-A-JSR program, I am trying to gather interests in these APIs, and provide these feedback to the Expert Group.

Embedded. – More info.
