JSR 269 in Final Approval Ballot

I'm very pleased to report that JSR 269 has reached the final approval ballot stage of the JCP process.

The only change since the proposed final draft was to correct the specification of VariableElement.getConstantValue.

JDK 6 Build 102 JSR 269 API Changes

Build 102 included a very small change to the JSR 269 API: the specification of the VariableElement.getConstantValue method was changed so that a value was returned independent of the static-ness of a final field. The implementation already behaved that way; the specification mistakenly excluded the non-static case.

This is the last planned change to the JSR 269 API before its final approval ballot.
