JSR 269 in public review

Joe Darcy

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()

Several of these changes relate to enabling annotation processing on package-info files in additional to normal source and class files.)
