Executive Committee Info
 
The Executive Committee (EC) is the group of Members guiding the evolution of Java technology in the Java Community Process (JCP). The EC represents both major stakeholders and a representative cross-section of the Java Community. The EC is responsible for approving the passage of specifications through key points of the JCP and for reconciling discrepancies between specifications and their associated test suites. There are two ECs: the SE/EE EC oversees the Java technologies for the desktop/server space (with responsibility for the Java™ SE and Java™ EE specifications) and the ME EC oversees the Java technologies for the consumer/embedded space (with responsibility for the Java™ ME specification).
 
For more information about the function of the Executive Committee, please refer to the Java Community Process 2.0 document and its Executive Committee Policies and Procedures Appendix.
 
JCP Members may view summaries of recent Executive Committee meetings on the EC Meeting Summaries page.
 
For information on how to become a JCP Member, please refer to the JCP Membership page.
 
The new Executive Committee Members were elected in November 2007. The election results are here.
 
Responsibilities
Each Executive Committee is expected to:
  • Select JSRs for development within the JCP.
  • Approve draft Specifications for Public Review.
  • Give final approval to completed Specifications and their associated RIs and TCKs.
  • Decide appeals of first-level TCK test challenges.
  • Review maintenance revisions and possibly require some to be carried out in a new JSR.
  • Approve transfer of maintenance duties between Members.
  • Provide guidance to the PMO.
The Program Management Office (PMO) handles the day-to-day running of the Java Community Process. To contact the PMO, please refer to the PMO contact page.
