Not quite. It's important to get the terminology right.
A Projects has a Project Lead, who is an individual which may or may not
work for a given company. The Project Lead is responsible for "directing
and coordinating the Project’s activities" [0].
When a Project is created, or when its Project Lead resigns or departs,
candidates for a new Project Lead may be nominated by the Group Leads of
a Project’s Sponsoring Groups. In the case of this Project, the
sponsoring Group is the Build Group, and its Group lead is of course an
individual.
The Project Lead for the JDK 6 Project is Andrew Haley.
