> I just made a new 0.9 snapshot of the spec and API:
>
> https://jsr311.dev.java.net/drafts/spec20080627.pdf
> https://jsr311.dev.java.net/nonav/releases/0.9/index.html
>
> The API source is tagged at:
>
> https://jsr311.dev.java.net/svn/jsr311/tags/jsr311-api-0.9/jsr311-api
>
> Hopefully this will be the last snapshot before the proposed final
> draft which is planned for the end of July (with a final release
> planned for end of September) so consider this a proposed-proposed
> final draft minus the resolution of our currently open issues:
>
> https://jsr311.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=8 (non-annotation
> model)
> https://jsr311.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=18 (XML descriptor)
> https://jsr311.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=44 (optional
> @*Param values)
>
> To meet the schedule we now need to focus on completing the RI and
> TCK and this requires API stability. To achieve this we're going to
> raise the bar for API and spec changes going forward. We'll continue
> to fix bugs and clarify the spec but new features will need to be
> accompanied with a compelling use case that can't be met with the
> current APIs otherwise they will be deferred to a later release.
