Changes to the JDK classes work the same as for any other Java API -- they
go through the Java Community Process (http://www.jcp.org). There was a
JSR for all the 1.4 changes, and it went through the same sort of public
review as the Servlet 2.3 and JSP 1.2 specs did recently.
Your timing isn't good to get anything into JDK 1.4 -- but you can watch
for announcements of the JSR for whatever follows.
