In my mind, an ecosystem conjures up a green, lush rain forest. The Java
ecosystem, like a rain forest, is excitingly complex and able to sustain a
diversity life and growth. At the JCP we have successfully balanced a variety
of participants, who both compete and cooperate for success within our
ecosystem.
The Java Community Process (JCP) program is a vital piece of the vibrant Java
ecosystem, where the participants come together to standardize the platforms
and APIs. Far from being the whole ecosystem, we're effectively doing our
