Dear JCP Members,
We are very excited to announce that the Java Community Process (JCP) Program Management Office (PMO) Newsletters
are returning! Here is your Summer 2024 edition of the JCP PMO Newsletter. This Newsletter is intended for JCP
Members, Executive Committee (EC) Members, Spec Leads, and Java Community Leaders, but it is accessible to
everyone.
To find out more about the latest news and announcements in the JCP Program, visit
jcp.org and follow us on X
and Facebook.
Below are some recent highlights:
JSR 269 Pluggable Annotation Processing API and JSR 199 Java Compiler API proposed changes to update those specifications with Maintenance Reviews in parallel with the Public Review of JSR 398.
The Maintenance Leads of JSRs 337, 384, and 392 published Maintenance Releases of the Java SE 8, Java SE 11, and Java SE 17 specifications. All this was in anticipation of the Public Review Final Approval Ballot and subsequent Final Release of JSR 398 Java SE 23.
The Final Release of JSR 398 Java SE 23 was also accompanied by the Maintenance Release 4 of JSR 199 and the Maintenance Release 9 of JSR 269.
We are accepting nominations for the 2024 JCP Annual Awards now.
The Award categories this year are:
- JCP Member/Participant of the Year
- Java in Education Community Award
Submit a nomination today to recognize those who deserve it!
Who are the EC Members and what do they do?
Some of the key responsibilities of the EC Members are to guide the
evolution of Java platforms and technologies, review and approval of the JSRs, and provide the
guidance to the JCP PMO.

The JCP has turned 25 years old in 2023, and we have been celebrating this incredible milestone
with the Java User Groups (JUGs) around the world!

Through the Java in Education initiative, we have been
working with the Java community leaders to inspire their local community of junior developers and students
to learn and use Java technology. This effort is global, JUG led, and is supported by the JCP Program.
Any JUG leader interested in this initiative is welcome to join the group.
Watch the
Java User Groups Update Meeting on Java in Education recording to learn more about the initiative objectives
and how you can participate.
