Each part of Java EE is described by a JSR (Java Specification Request). Every JSR has a JCP page, which provides basic information about the JSR. The JCP pages provide links to

• The Specification Documents

• Public Communications (Mailing lists)

• Issue Tracking

More information about Java EE can be found on the Java EE GitHub page.
