The document discusses the Java Community Process (JCP) and the future of Java. It provides an overview of the JCP, including its goals of open standards, compatibility, and broad community involvement. It outlines several recent and upcoming Java specifications being developed through the JCP, and encourages developers to get involved in JSR expert groups, hackathons, and other community events to help shape the future of Java.

- 15. Membership Quotes ❑ "Joining the JCP, especially being a member of several expert groups, has had a big impact on my career. Mostly by making it visible for the leadership and managers in my company that I am actually a part of forming the future of the platform. I also think, or hope, that it is an inspiration for my colleagues." - Ivar Grimstad ❑ "Joining the JCP is like being a Java citizen." - Heinz Kabutz
- 16. Collaborative Development - How does is work? ❑ Java Specification Requests (JSRs) ❑ A JSR is a single version of a Java specification. ❑ JSRs are led by a community member (the Spec Lead), with a group of interested members (the Expert Group) helping with the day-to-day decisions and work. ❑ Any JCP member can submit and lead a JSR. ❑ Each Expert Group must deliver: ❑ The Specification ❑ A Reference Implementation (RI) ❑ A Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) •.
- 17. The JSR Development Cycle ❑ Includes formal public reviews and votes by the Executive Committee. ❑ Full Members can submit & lead JSRs, serve on JSR Expert Groups. ❑ See the Process Document for the details.
- 18. Compatibility Triangle Can you build an implementation? Is the specification unambiguous? Is the TCK correct? Does the RI conform?
