Converting Java SE 8 (JSR 337) to JCP 2.8
The Java SE 8 JSR was originally submitted in November 2010, under the rules of JCP 2.7. When JCP 2.8 (JSR 348) was approved in October 2011 [1], Oracle publicly committed to convert all in-flight JSRs led by Oracle to JCP 2.8. To satisfy the transparency requirements of JCP 2.8 for Java SE JSRs we had to update the OpenJDK Terms of Use, which required spending lots of quality time with attorneys. That was finally done this past July [2], at which point this EG began its work [3]. JCP 2.8 also requires us to have a public issue tracker, but the OpenJDK JIRA system isn't available yet [4][5]. I've therefore set up an issue tracker on java.net [6]; we'll migrate issues from that system to the OpenJDK system when the latter becomes available. To convert an existing JSR to JCP 2.8, finally, requires answering a set of questions posed by the JCP PMO [7]. Appended below are my intended answers to those questions. EG members -- To complete the conversion of this JSR to JCP 2.8 I now ask each of you whether you agree to this change. Please answer in a reply to the EG list, so that it's visible for all to see.
