Welcome to jcp.org, home of the Java Community ProcessSM (JCPSM) Program. The JCP is the mechanism for developing standard technical specifications for Java technology.
Anyone can register for the site and participate in reviewing and providing feedback for the Java Specification Requests (JSRs), and anyone can sign up to become a JCP Member and then participate on the Expert Group of a JSR or even submit their own JSR Proposal.

New Web Site Enhancements
The Java Community Process (JCP) Program Management Office (PMO) is
excited to announce an upgrade to the recently launched jcp.org
web site. After the community's web home was completely overhauled and
released in June 2009, work continued behind the scenes to add to,
enhance, and fix its functionality and usefulness. Members of the PMO
serve as the project team to define and complete the work.
The JCP program user community has been helpful in offering feedback on
the web site. Many of the new features and bug fixes were originally
suggested or identified by users. Some of those implementations will be
immediately obvious. For example, all of the wikis and boards now
include a way for users to give their quick opinion of the content by
awarding each item with a rating, by selecting a certain number of
stars. In addition, all of the public discussion boards and wikis
include RSS buttons to enable a user to subscribe to updates of that
content. Due to security settings and requirements of browsers, this RSS
feed feature works only if SSL is enabled. For example, the RSS feature
does work with Firefox.
A variety of bugs have been fixed and the navigation has also been
updated to organize the information available. This is another
incremental step along the journey to improve jcp.org. In the coming
months, as the community continues to suggest changes and enhancements,
the efforts will continue to improve the site. All of the feedback keeps
the JCP program and jcp.org moving onward and upward.

Although the Expert Group in the Java Community Process (JCP) program is always the Spec Lead's primary source of input, JSRs that are developed in a transparent fashion also draw on the knowledge and experience of Observers, the Community, and the Public. Here are brief case studies of Spec Leads who are effectively gathering input from their Expert Groups and beyond.
