Java Specification Request
A Java Specification Request ( JSR ) is a request for a new Java - specification or a major change in an existing Java specification that under the Java Community Process (JCP) to that of Oracle -driven Process Management Office (PMO) is provided. This procedure is used to define new Java standards and to jointly develop extensions to the Java programming language or the Java runtime environment .
A new JSR is created to include new language elements, expand APIs or make revisions. A JSR is led by a team of experts from business and research who are very familiar with the respective subject or who want to advance the respective technology.
