"Simon Ritter: Yes. It's interesting because the way that Java is developed has changed. So if we go back to pre-JDK 9, a lot of the work that was done in terms of developing new features and so on was done through the JCP, under JSRs, and we had what we called component JSRs and then an umbrella JSR, which was the one that actually covered the particular version of Java."
"Simon Ritter: And we moved away from that. So what we do now is we have an umbrella JSR, which includes all of the things which relate to the Java SE specification, and that's the Java Language Specification, the Java Virtual Machine Specification and the definition of all the core class libraries. But OpenJDK, the open-source project, is really where a lot of the ideas and the individual features get developed."
"Simon Ritter: As you said, I'm the deputy CTO at Azul. I've been doing Java right from the very beginning. I joined Sun Microsystems way back in February of 1996, about the same time that JDK 1.0 came out, and I followed Java all the way through the Sun years, got acquired by Oracle, spent another five years at Oracle doing Java, and then for the last 10 years I've been at Azul."
Simon Ritter serves as deputy CTO at Azul and is a member of the JDK 26 Expert Group. He has worked with Java since 1996 across Sun Microsystems, Oracle, and Azul. He first joined the JDK expert group at JDK 9 and has participated in multiple releases. Java development moved away from a model driven by component JSRs toward a model centered on OpenJDK. An umbrella JSR now encapsulates the Java Language Specification, the Java Virtual Machine Specification, and the definitions of the core class libraries. OpenJDK is the primary venue for developing new features and ideas.
