you can update schedules, TBAs, dependencies on or connections to other
JSRs. Just send us an email with the requested changes.

When submitting a proposal for a new JSR please use the JSR Proposal

From the Java Developer Connection, an article for spec leads and expert
groups, "The Java Compatibility Test Tools: JavaTest Harness," reveals
how features like a graphical user interface, interactive,
interview-based configuration, and high customizability make the
JavaTest harness an easy-to-use tool for managing and running Java
technology compliance tests, and an attractive choice for Technology
Compatibility Kit providers.
