Spec Lead Guide
 
v6.0
 
The success of the Java Community Process (JCP) program is dependent on the success of its spec leads. The information available from this page is designed to answer common questions from the Spec Leads and familiarize current and future Spec Leads with the Java Specification Request (JSR) process.
 
This guide is a living document based on experiences of current Spec Leads and will be expanded as new suggestions and helpful hints are submitted. Whenever the PMO improves the process the Spec Lead Guide will be updated with the latest information.
