The only JSR that matter is JavaSE and I don't see it having technical problems. I don't know what you mean by that. Just have a look at what JSRs JDK 7 consists of: http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk7/features/ http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk7/features/ Now imagine some of Apaches representatives were spec leads on some JSRs. Thats a serious threat to a JSR then. Spec leads are not easy to find. Participators in a JSR can go with important knowledge on the topic, too.

Java SE is almost 100% designed and implemented by Oracle. (The only exception I can think of is Doug Lea's concurrency work.) This is a problem in some sense, but also a solution: the JCP was never really a bottleneck for Java SE so its implosion can't delay Java 7/8.
