JSR 377 Ballot Results

The APIs for JSR-377 have reached the next milestone and are available from https://github.com/jsr377/jsr377-api in source form. The repository includes instructions to generate both binary and javadoc packages. Integration with JSR-382 has been discussed and a consensus was reached (see https://github.com/eclipse/ConfigJSR/issues/51) where JSR-377 *will not* rely on JSR-382 due to compatibility issues coming from their Converter API, as it does not provide enough behavior required by JSR-377. However it's possible for JSR-377 enabled applications to consume JSR-382 configuration *if and only if* sensible default values complying with JSR-377's API are provided.
Work on the JSR-377 TCK (https://github.com/jsr377/jsr377-tck) was also started, and it's currently sitting at 50% completion.
The selected RI (the Griffon framework) sports a branch (private at the moment) with updates coming from JSR-377 APIs, removing Griffon's own Action, I18n, Resource management in favor of JSR-377's.
Additional type converters (https://github.com/jsr377/jsr377-converters) inspired in JSR-377's Converter API are provided as an additional, non required download. Implementors and developers are free to leverage or disregard this additional binary.
