Last week was a busy week for the JCP program! Along with many JSR updates and the Adopt-a-JSR meeting blogged about earlier this week, the JCP participated in the IOUC in Redwood Shores, held the first EC face to face meeting of 2013 in Santa Clara, and hosted a JCP dinner in Santa Clara for the JUG leaders attending the IOUC and JCP EC Members at The Fish Market.
The JCP session slides --with Patrick Curran, Heather VanCura, Bruno Souza and Ben Evans-- at the IOUC are available. The agenda, meeting materials and minutes will be published from the January EC Meeting will be published on JCP.org soon (the December 2012 EC materials are available now). We had several Spec Lead presentations at the EC Meeting in January--JSR status updates (15 minutes each) from JSR 339: JAX-RS 2.0: The Java API for RESTful Web Services (Santiago Pericas-Geertsen), JSR 352: Batch Applications for the Java Platform (Chris Vignola), JSR 354: Money and Currency API (Susanne Cech, Werner Keil); and three Spec Lead presentations (~1 hour each) from JSR 342: Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 7 (Java EE 7) Specification (Linda DeMichiel), JSR 236: Concurrency Utilities for Java EE (Anthony Lai), and JSR 335: Lambda Expressions for the Java Programming Language (Brian Goetz). The agenda also included the annual year end report and summary, and a JSR 358, A major revision to the Java Community Process, Expert Group discussion. Stay tuned for the full agenda, minutes and materials.
