Javaworld has published an article by Frank Sommers and Sonali Shaw that discusses the effectiveness of the Java Community Process (JCP) by analyzing a database of publicly available information on the first 200 Java Specification Requests (JSRs).
JCP critics often question whether the process serves Java's advancement and whether it helps produce new Java standards effectively. Up to now, answers to those questions had as much to do with perception, though not always accurate, as with fact. For this article, Frank Sommers and Sonali Shah analyze a database of publicly available information about the first 200 Java Specification Requests (JSRs). In the process, they try to dispel a few JCP myths.
