Beware of Java Acronymphos

By Luke Pillow - Posted September 28, 2007

I'm not against acronyms, but recently I stumbled upon the Java Community Process (JCP) Wikipedia article, while looking up what exactly JSR (Java Specification Request) stands for. The JCP article lists all (or at least some - I don't know) of the JSRs that exist; including their number and technology...

RTSJ, JMX, JAXP, JDO, JCA, EJB, CLDC, JAXB, JSIP, CDC, MIDP, JMI, NIO, JSTL, JSP, JDBC, JNLP, JDM, JAXR, JDOM, WSDL4J, WMA, JSF, MMAPI, SLP, SDP, JCR, SATSA, SIP, JTWI, NIO2, JBI, JAX-WS, XQJ, SDO, JDM, MTA, IMS, JTA

Oh oh... looks like I forgot one... JBS
