Java SE 6 Passes Final Approval

Java SE 6 has completed the last stage before full release by passing its final approval ballot.

Java SE 6 has completed the last stage before full release by passing its final approval ballot in the JCP Executive Committee.

Here are all the JSRs that were on the ballot:-

- JSR 199: The Java Compiler API,
- JSR 202: The update to Class the file specification
- JSR 221: JDBC 4.0.
- JSR 223: The Scripting for the Java Platform
- JSR 268: The SmartCard I/O, which is not officially part of the platform, but is available in the JDK.
- JSR 269: The Pluggable Annotation APIs.

And finally...

- JSR 270: The umbrella JSR that combines all of the JSRs in the release

There are, of course, more new JSRs included with Java SE 6, but these were already completed and approved. For more information see Danny Coward’s recent blog entry, and this article on Java SE 6’s new features.
