JSRs: Java Specification Requests
JSRs by Platform
Certain JSRs are part of one or more of the platforms: collections of standards that comprise the three Java editions: Standard, Enterprise and Micro. Many JSRs are not part of the platform, but rather augment that platform; those JSRs are not listed on this page. This page lists the JSRs that comprise the various versions of the three platform editions.
Java EE (47 JSRs)
|
Java SE (60 JSRs)
|
Java ME (85 JSRs)
Java SE
The Java Standard Edition offers APIs and tools for developing desktop and server-side enterprise applications. The JSRs in this list are part of the Java SE platform as component or umbrella JSRs.
