JCP EG private pages	http://www.jcp.org/en/eg/view?id=264	Every expert group has a private page there, but we use it for nothing else, than to see, who is actually member of the expert group. Your login username to this page looks something similar to 'jcp-????' and you should've received that from the JCP admin team
java.net	http://jsrXXX-private.dev.java.net and http://jsrXXX-public.dev.java.net	XXX represents the JSR number. Private projects contain the development and work environment. Public project contains only the mature material.

Mailing Lists

OSS/J members only

The OSSJ internal Mailing list are now managed by the TMForum. The material relative to the OSSJ initiative is store under the TMForum workspace environment.

Expert Group members

Then there are a couple of mailing-lists that are commonly used by all projects and expert groups on java.net projects.

Mailing-List	Alias	Description
cvs	cvs (at) jsrXXX-private.dev.java.net	notifications about changes in the cvs repository
issues	issues(at) jsrXXX-private.dev.java.net and jsrXXX-public.dev.java.net	notifications about changes in the issue tracking system

Finally, every expert group has a private mailing list, where discussions around the topic of the JSR are discussed, the conference calls are organized, etc. This mailing list alias always has the format jsr-<jsr#>-EG (at) jcp.org. Thus for Order Management the expert group alias is jsr-264-eg (at) jcp.org.

Public

The OSS/J Forums are open to the public and used to communicate with the OSS/J community members who are neither OSS/J nor EG member.

java.net Projects

Each JSR has or will have a paired private/public java.net projects. Access to the private projects is granted to OSS/J members and Expert Group members. These private projects contain

A CVS repository to develop the specification, the reference implementation and the technology compatibility kit
A Files section to share documents, meeting minutes, etc.
An issue tracker

The corresponding projects can be found in the JSR community.

OSS/J also owns three other general purpose private projects at java.net: ossj, tck-ossj, and org-ossj. These project are not used anymore (Since 2006). To get access to these projects and to the individual JSR private projects, follow this procedure.

Documents

All documents should go into the document storage section of the ossj-all TeleManagement Forum Collaboration Work Space (CWS).

Source Code

The source code is maintained in the cvs repository of the individual JSR private projects. How this is organized and how you setup your environment to use it, is explained in the DevelopmentEnvironment
