<br>
Are these basically the avenues ?<br>
<br>
1. One could individually participate in JCP spec. activities without<br>
guidance depending on one's skill level.<br>
2. Participate along with the local JUG.<br>
3. Contribute to one of the OpenJDK projects like JITWatch etc.<br>
4. Contribute to documentation.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
