JSR 269 in public review I'm happy to announce that JSR 269 is now in public review. Please send comments to jsr-269-comments@jcp.org.

(The public review draft has several differences from the API specification and implementation in Mustang build 84:

• The Filer methods return JSR 199 JavaFileObject objects instead of java.io Writer and OutputStream objects.
• The legal input names to the createSourceFile and createClassFile methods in Filer were expanded to include syntax for creating package-info files.
• The method
  Set<? extends TypeElement> getSpecifiedTypeElements()
  was replaced with
  Set<? extends Element> getRootElements()
