 ** Noteworthy JSRs **
-------------------------
This section of the News Bulletin calls out JSRs that have news to share
with the Java Community. If your JSR has something newsworthy to report
then send an alert ("Hey PMO!") to pmo@jcp.org.

- JSR 90, Quality of Service API, one of the initial telecommunications
OSS/BSS JSRs, has gone final.  It provides interfaces for integrated
management solutions supporting a variety of QoS functions for network
and service assurance. You can read more about JSR 90 here:
http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=90
Information on all the OSS through Java JSRs can be found at:
http://java.sun.com/products/oss/apis.html

- JSR 198, A Standard Extension API for Integrated Development
Environments, has recently been submitted and approved by the SE/EE EC.
This JSR is a proposal to create a standard interface for adding
extensions to Java Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). This will
allow vendors to write an IDE extension once, and have it work on any
J2SE-compliant IDE.  View the JSR here:
http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=198

Remember, all JSRs operating under JCP 2.5 (the current version of the
JCP) require that all expert group members on the JSR sign the new JSPA
located here:  http://jcp.org/en/participation/membership.

The PMO has updated the Spec Lead Guide to reflect recent changes
required for JCP 2.5, and added information to help Spec Leads with the
JSR process. You can find the Spec Lead Guide here:
