Executive Committee
The Executive Committee (EC) is the group of Members guiding the
evolution of Java technology in the Java Community Process (JCP). The EC
represents both major stakeholders and a representative cross-section of
the Java Community. The EC is responsible for approving the passage of
specifications through key points of the JCP and for reconciling
discrepancies between specifications and their associated test suites.
There are two ECs: the SE/EE EC oversees the Java technologies
for the desktop/server space (with responsibility for the
J2SETM and
J2EETM specifications) and the ME EC oversees the Java technologies for the consumer/embedded space (with
responsibility for the J2METM specification).
For more information about the function of the Executive Committee, please refer to the Java Community Process 2.0 document and its Executive Committee Policies and Procedures Appendix.
Responsibilities
Each Executive Committee is expected to:
- Select JSRs for development within the JCP.
- Approve draft Specifications for Public Review.
- Give final approval to completed Specifications and their associated
RIs and TCKs.
- Decide appeals of first-level TCK test challenges.
- Review maintenance revisions and possibly require some to be carried
out in a new JSR.
- Approve transfer of maintenance duties between Members.
- Provide guidance to the PMO.
Membership
Currently there are two interim ECs which will remain in effect until
the first EC Election in late 2000.
