I found some subject material for a blog entry ...
- http://weblogs.java.net/blog/jive/archive/2007/07/jsr275_and_why.html

The review period ends July 8th.
- https://jsr-275.dev.java.net/files/documents/4333/34956/jsr-275.pdf

Of interest is the no vote from Sun:
> On 2005-06-09 Intel Corp. voted No with the following comment:
> JSR 108 was withdrawn after 3 years without producing an initial 
> draft.  This new JSR appears to be a continuation of that work, but 
> doesn't have an Early Draft scheduled in the near future.  Before 
> deciding on a standard, more experience with implentations, 
> exploration of performance impacts in running code (build time[JSR 
> 269] vs runtime processing) and broader input (perhaps from the 
> academic community) may be helpful.  Experience with packages outside 
> the standardization process can pave the way for determining what the 
> best way forward is for defining a Java standard.  This JSR looks like 
> it would benefit from more R&D before standardization.
Most of the votes seem guarded - based on previously being burned by JSR 
108:
> Google is voting yes but with reservations: The API described on 
> http://www.jscience.org/api/org/jscience/physics/units/package-summary.html 
> is far too complex.  If this API is ever to be included in the JDK it 
> must be simplified considerably.
So do we care?
