MicroDo re-elected to the Java Executive Committee
  • Being part of an exclusive committee alongside the world’s largest tech companies, shaping the software language the entire world uses, is a testament to how far we and MicroDoc have come. And this accomplishment is purely based on dedicated specialists being the best in the business. It’s a perfect example on what Data Respons represents and I am very proud of the standing MicroDoc has built in the software community, says Kenneth Ragnvaldsen, CEO in Data Respons.

The JCP Executive Committee (EC) is the group of members guiding the evolution of Java technology in the Java Community Process (JCP). The EC represents both major stakeholders and a representative cross-section of the Java Community. It is composed of 16 JCP members plus a non-voting chair. The chair of the EC is a member of the Process Management Office (PMO). The 16 voting members are selected from JCP members.

The EC is responsible for approving the passage of specifications through key points of the JCP and for reconciling discrepancies between specifications and their associated test suites.

  • Being a small operation in the company of giants is a privilege we highly appreciate. And it is also a privilege to participate in the continuous development of Java. Our seat in the Executive Committee allows us to provide our expertise in future software developments, but it also allows us to represent the needs and requirements of Java embedded that is used by our automotive and telecommunication customers, comments Dr. Christian Kuka, managing director in MicroDoc.
