Benefits of Membership

Java technology evolves through a continual process of improvement, made possible by the work of the Java community. The JCP is the official organization for making your improvements to the platform, and this is largely possible through membership to the JCP. Non-member public participants can provide suggestions, but the best way to contribute ideas, and the only way to contribute JSRs for review, is as a JCP member.

JCP Program Membership also entitles you to submit your own JSRs to the JCP, serve on JSR Expert Groups, vote in Executive Committee elections, and attend JCP Member online and in-person events. As a JCP Member, you are an active contributor to the evolution of Java technology.
 
The JCP offers you a chance to become a permanent part of the Java platform's history by contributing your work and recommendations as a member.

Participation as a Member requires you or your organization to sign the Java Specification Participation Agreement (JSPA). The JSPA is a one-year, renewable agreement between you and Sun Microsystems, Inc. It entitles you to review and comment on JSRs during the Community Review period - after they are initially approved by their sponsoring Expert Group and before they are open for Public Review. The agreement carries an annual fee, depending on your Member category:


 
If you have any questions about filling out an agreement or the Java Community Process in general, please contact the Program Management Office as per the instructions on the PMO contacts page.
