Changes from JCP 2.0 to 2.1

JCP 2.1 uses different voting rules to approve JSRs as they flow through the process. Ballots after July 10, 2001 are subject to the JCP 2.1 voting rules. Previous ballots for JCP 2 JSRs used the JCP 2.0 rules to determine if a JSR was approved.

Translations from JCP 1.0 to 2.0

As the Java Community Process evolves, some of the terms used in the older versions of the process have changed. This brief guide to the changes from JCP 1.0 is provided to ease the adjustment for anyone who had become accustomed to the terms in JCP 1.0. To find out more about the changes from JCP 1.0 to JCP 2, please refer to the JCP 2 document.
