Not quite.  The Java APIs, JLS, JVMS, and other normative specifications (e.g. Serialization Spec, RMI Spec, etc.) are
defined by the Java Community Process (jcp.org).  OpenJDK is the place to collaborate on an open-source implementation
of the Java Platform, Standard Edition, and related projects.

I think that "The project" should be replaced with "OpenJDK".
