More transparency into the JSTL Expert Group spec work

One key goal of the new JCP 2.6 (Java Community Process) introduced earlier this year is to create more transparency into the specification work performed by the Expert Groups. To promote this goal of increased transparency, the JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (JSTL) expert group (JSR-052) is launching project jstl-spec-public.

While the source code for the JSTL Reference Implementation is already open-sourced as the Standard Taglib within the jakarta-taglibs project at Apache, two key tools will be used in our new java.net project to make the work on the spec as transparent as possible and to help bring an even greater sense of community around our technology.

  1. Mailing lists
  2. The users mailing list for jstl-spec-public is now available to the community to post comments and bring up issues related to the JSTL spec that can then be discussed by the community at large. There is also the announce list, which is low traffic and will be used for major announcements related to JSTL.

  3. Issue Tracker
  4. All issues related to the spec will now be kept in this public repository. We have started populating it with issues we will be considering for the next JSTL Maintenance Review, as well as with enhancement requests we've received for a future revision JSR. Relevant issues brought up on the users mailing list will be fed into the issue tracker. One can also subscribe to the issues mailing list to be automatically notified of all changes made to these issues.

So, if you want to keep abreast of the work done on JSTL, check out the new jstl-spec-public project. Justyna, Dhiru, and myself, along with the Expert Group, will be happy to meet you there...
