Here's how it works: Start a project to do small language changes, or join an existing one. Form an EG for the JSR. It may be be that there is already a suitable JSR in progress. Discuss. Make spec changes, make an implementation, make TCK changes. Propose the change to the umbrella Java SE EG for inclusion in JDK N. If this sounds like a lot of work, that's because it is. Andrew.
