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. It 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.

Originally there were two ECs, the SE/EE EC and the ME EC, but these were merged with JCP 2.9. For more background on how the committee operates, refer to the JCP Process Document and the Executive Committee's Standing Rules.
