Java Community Process
Encyclopedia
The Java Community Process or JCP, established in 1998, is a formalized process that allows interested parties to get involved in the definition of future versions and features of the Java platform.
The JCP involves the use of Java Specification Requests (JSRs) – the formal documents that describe proposed specifications and technologies for adding to the Java platform. Formal public reviews of JSRs take place before a JSR becomes final and the JCP Executive Committee
votes on it. A final JSR provides a reference implementation
that is a free implementation of the technology in source code form and a Technology Compatibility Kit
to verify the API specification.
A JSR describes the JCP itself. , JSR 215 describes the current version (2.7) of the JCP.
