"The Java Community Process may get a welcome and much-needed breath of fresh air if a new proposal from Oracle is approved.

"The proposal, entitled JCP.next JSR 1, which is actually Java Specification Request 348, would see a reorganization of the existing Java Community Process to make the JCP a more open environment in which developers can work.

"According to the JCP Program Office, JCP.next JSR 1 (JJ1) "will focus on changes to the JCP Process Document in the following areas: transparency, participation, agility and governance. The Process Document describes the formal procedures used in the JCP program."
