The JCP Program celebrated fifteen years of collaborative work from companies, academics, individual developers and not-for-profits from all over the world who have come together to develop Java technology through the JCP. We celebrated with fellow Java developers including Spec Leads, Expert Group members, Executive Committee (EC) members and some of the folks instrumental in the success of the JCP program over the past fifteen years. Thank you for ordering the kit and celebrating the 15th birthday of the JCP program with your JUG! If you have not received the kit that you have already ordered, we are processing it and will ship it soon. The winners of the 12th Annual JCP Awards were announced at the JCP Community Party.
