What is the Java Community Process (JCP) Program?

The JCP program is the open, participative process to develop and revise the Java technology specifications, reference implementations, and test suites. We're here to continually evolve the Java platform with the help of the international Java developer community. That's you.

Get involved in Java Technology through the JCP program.

First, anyone with an internet connection can review and comment on draft specifications and Java Specification Request (JSR) proposals, as well as read the JCP blog and follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

Next, you can register with the JCP and contribute directly by nominating yourself to join an Expert Group, maintain a watch-list of JSRs of interest, request to be associated with an existing JCP Member, or become a JCP Member.

And as you become more involved, you can even propose new JSRs, vote in the Executive Committee elections, and run for a seat on an Executive Committee. You're invited and welcome.
