EJB 3.0 Early Draft Spec is now available for download

The Expert Group for JSR-220 has just published an Early Draft of the new EJB 3.0 spec. It is available for download at the JCP site.

If you want to know more about JSR related news and to participate in their active development whether you are a JCP member or not, check out the recently launched JSR community.

Welcome to the JSR community

Welcome to our newest community, the JSR community. The java.net JSR community has been created to support the goals of JCP version 2.6 to make the process more transparent. File sharing, news groups, mailing lists and other services are among the services offered to help to achieve these objectives.

Each JSR willing to join this community will start a new sub-project here. There, you will be able to subscribe to public mailing lists that will allow you to know and comment about what topics are currently being discussed by the Expert Group, get updated information about the spec status and know when drafts are available. Besides that, if the reference implementation and/or the TCK are open-source software, you will be able to access them here.

Expert Group Members will be able to take advantage of many valuable resources, such as version control and private mailing lists for internal discussion. By using java.net resources, they'll get feedback earlier and the end results will be better.

This community will also provide you news about the JCP, JSRs and related subjects, as well as support discussions about JSRs and the process in general. We hope you can be an active participant of our community and help the whole Java community as a result. Join us and help to shape the future of Java!

PS: many thanks to the whole java.net crew that has made it possible, specially to Sarah Breen, who has been like an angel to all community leaders.
