J2SE 1.5 in Proposed Final Draft

I am pleased to report that we are one step closer to the final ballot of the Tiger release, jsr 176 jcp page. Look out for some related news on Monday.

I have been impressed with all the expert groups in this release, and obviously the JSR 176 team. When you look at the companies and individuals involved, I know Java is in safe hands.

One top tip if you want to participate in the jcp process for future releases, please apply early. Lots of applications were past our deadline :*( It also helps if you can let us know if you have special knowledge in a certain area, or are well known in the community. We all try keep of the java community but a gentle reminder doesn't hurt!
