The JCP is the mechanism for developing standard technical specifications for Java technology. Anyone can register for the site and participate in reviewing and providing feedback for the Java Specification Requests (JSRs), and anyone can sign up to become a JCP Member and then participate on the Expert Group of a JSR or even submit their own JSR Proposals.

Java User Groups (JUGs) are volunteer organizations that strive to distribute Java-related knowledge around the world . They provide a meeting place for Java users to get information, share resources and solutions, increase networking, expand Java Technology expertise, and above all, drink beer, eat pizza and have fun. The JUG Community is the meeting point for JUGs, helping promote the expansion of the worldwide Java Community. JUG leaders & members, from experts to Java newbies can share information about creating, joining and running a JUG.

Naming a Package (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Packages)

With programmers worldwide writing classes and interfaces using the Java programming language, it is likely that many programmers will use the same name for different types. In fact, the previous example does just that: It defines a Rectangle class when there is already a Rectangle class in the java.awt package. Still, the compiler allows both classes to have the same name if they are in different packages. The fully qualified name of each Rectangle class includes the package name. That is, the fully qualified name of the Rectangle class in the graphics package is graphics.Rectangle , and the fully qualified name of the Rectangle class in the java.awt package is java.awt.Rectangle .
