The Java Community Process(SM) Program - Community Update - View Community Update Information for JSR# 290

May 4th, 2011

JSR 290 is now planned to be posted for FAB/FR in a very short time frame. While the specification, RI and TCK were finalized and ready for FAB/FR submission since September 2009, we are now getting closer to finalize also the administrative (process, terms, legal...) part. stay tuned.

July 1st, 2009

Due to changes in the JCP Process (now v1.7), FAB needs to be posted along at FR time. This implies that our original plan to have FAB in June and FR in August/September is invalidated. New FAB/FR posting date is now End of September! We plan however to maybe compensate the intermediate step by posting an additional PFD later in July/August.

April 17th, 2009

The JSR 290 Expert Group has posted its specification for PFD#2 on April 17th, 2009. This publication is intended to increase awareness and transparency towards the community. It will be up on or before May 1st.

March 31st, 2009

The JSR 290 Expert Group has agreed that the API is stable now and has frozen the spec. Currently the RI and TCK teams are working concentrated on this last mile. Now, only minor updates (typos, descriptions, clarifications ...) are expected and the spec will be posted accordingly.

The proposed delivery has been adapted to be inline with the primary goal of integrating with MSA2 and comply to its schedule. The RI and TCK will be delivered as one bundle to run on Sun's WTK, based on CLCD 1.1 and MIDP 2.x. A bundle based on Sun's CDC toolkit, based on CDC 1.1 and PBP 1.1 will be delivered based on market demand.

The Proposed Business Terms associated with JSR-290 have been adapted to be in-line with the discussion we had in the case of JSR-280 XML API. Here are the new business terms:

In addition to providing access to the TCK and RI to those existing licensees of Sun's Java technology whose agreements with Sun already entitle them to such access, subject to the terms and conditions of those agreements, Sun Microsystems, Inc., will make the TCK and RI for JSR-290 ("Java Language & XML User Interface Markup Integration") available for licensing separately as follows:
TCK - Technology Compatibility Kit
Sun will make the JSR-290 TCK available on a stand-alone basis at no charge, without support or any trademark license rights, to qualified not-for-profit entities (including not-for-profit academic institutions) and qualified individuals engaged in efforts to create compatible implementations of the Specification. All other use is deemed commercial. Sun will also make the JSR-290 TCK available with updates and upgrades for commercial use for a flat fee of USD$50,000 for a term of 3 years.

RI - Reference Implementation
Sun will make a binary version of the JSR-290 RI available at no cost to standalone TCK licensees for the limited purpose of configuring and supporting the TCK. Sun will make a binary version of the JSR-290 RI available with redistribution rights subject to reasonable commercial terms. Sun will make a source code version of the JSR-290 RI available under reasonable commercial terms.

August 7th, 2007
