“Responding to concerns from key Java stakeholders, Sun
Microsystems Inc. is moving to revise its so-called community
process for developing new Java technology.“
“Sun yesterday announced the formation of two executive
committees that will oversee the Java Community Process (JCP)
program for developing Java specifications, reference
implementations and test suites. The company said the new
committees, which will include representatives from Sun and other
vendors, will determine which new technology proposals move forward
for further development by Java working groups.”
“In the past, that decision-making power rested solely with Sun.
More details about the upgraded JCP 2.0 program are scheduled to be
unveiled at next week’s JavaOne Conference in San Francisco, Sun
officials said.”
