Revision as of 22:01, 27 April 2006

The Java Community Process or JCP, established in 1998, is a formalized process which allows interested parties to be involved in the definition of future versions and features of the Java platform.

The JCP process involves the use of Java Specification Requests (JSRs), which are formal documents that describe proposed specifications and technologies to be added to the Java platform. Formal public reviews of JSRs are conducted before the JSR becomes final and is voted on by the JCP Executive Committee. A final JSR provides a reference implementation which provides a free implementation of the technology in source code form and a Technology Compatibility Kit to verify the API specification.

The JCP itself is described by a JSR. As of 2006, the current version of the JCP in use is 2.6 as described by JSR 215.

There are over 300 JSRs. Some of the more visible JSRs are:
