+[JSR 348: Towards a new version of the Java Community Process](http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=348) requires the JCP's Executive Committee to operate in a transparent manner. 
+
+This project will be used to host materials and communications to enable JCP members and the public to more fully understand and participate in our work.
+
+Over time, materials that are currently posted at jcp.org will be migrated here. In the meantime, here are some links to get you started.
+
+* As required by JSR 348 we have created a ''Discussion'' mailing list that you can use to discuss EC matters and to provide feedback to the EC. Go <a href="http://java.net/projects/jcp-ec/lists">here</a> to subscribe. (You'll need a java.net login to subscribe. Messages from non-subscibers are silently ignored.)

+Continue to close the gap between the languages:  
+Stream support would be great  
+Reflection  
+Runtime Annotations  
+Concurrency utilities  
+Collections and Math APIs  
+(these could be implemented as separate, optional JSRs?)  
+Comparing Java SE to ME (MEEP):  
+Basically everything that makes MEEP:  
+Software provisioning  
+Software management  
+Application concurrency (MVM)  
+Inter-application communication (IMC)  
+Events  
+Service Provider/Consumer pattern  
+(much of these are provided by OSGi, which we use for our Java SE capable gateways)  
+Missing in both platforms (but may be available from others, as pointed by Calinel)  
+Support for emerging standards  
+REST client  
+Communication protocols such as MQTT and/or COAP  
+Expansion of the Device IO capabilities  
+Expansion of the OTA for new networks and protocols (such as MQTT/COAP)

+ME and SE are converging. ME 8/MEEP did a huge step to be more SE like and the SE profiles made SE more like ME. Still I think, that what we get out of this is too static. One can either use a very small runtime without JNI or a bigger runtime without some of the ME frameworks. Although ME now supports most of the SE 8 language features, some are still missing. The situation with class libraries is similar.</font></font></font>
+
+<font color="#1d2129"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="5" style="font-size: 18pt">I think that the situation could be improved if there was no difference in the language itself and in the class libraries. A class should have the same signature, no matter what runtime it runs on. Features, like class loaders, should be selected by the programmer based on the requirements and available resources. In an ideal world this would work like "make menuconfig" for the Linux Kernel and result in an optimal runtime for the specific application. To some extend this is how it works with C/C++; you link that lib or you don't. The Java 9 module system and to some extend JLink are very promising technologies that could support such an approach.</font></font></font>

+<font color="#1d2129"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="5" style="font-size: 18pt">Startup time is one of the key factors for some embedded application and the jar file format might not be the best choice for this, given that unzip, defineClass() etc are very expensive operations. It is likely that this aspect does not require standardization, but will be left to the implementations - but we may want to think about this.</font></font></font>

One of the more concrete things I am missing is a better operating system/C/C++ integration, like JNA [1]: Device I/O is a step in the right direction.
