Feed Description: Cafe au Lait is the preeminent independent source of Java information on the net. Unlike many other Java sites, Cafe au Lait is neither beholden to specific companies nor to advertisers. At Cafe au Lait you'll find many resources to help you develop your Java programming skills here including daily news summaries, FAQ lists, tutorials, course notes, examples, exercises, book reviews, user groups and more.
The JDK is now released under the GPL v2. There's an interim governing board consisting of Simon Phipps, Dalibor Topic, Mark Reinhold, Doug Lea, and Fabian Nardon. They'll write a constitution and hold elections. There's a special NetBeans module for contributing to the JDK. The TCK will eventually be made available. If a product passes the TCK, it can use the Java brand.
