With the submission of the specification to the JCP for the Final Approval Ballot, the work on Bean Validation 2.0 is done more or less. If you’d like to help, reviewing the specification changes would be the best thing to do at this point. You also could try out the reference implementation Hibernate Validator in your applications and let us know how it works.

Also tell us about ideas and wishes for a future 2.1 release of the spec. We are eager to learn about your requirements, so we can explore any new features in the reference implementation.

To post your feedback, just add a comment below, send a message to our mailing list or post in the Bean Validation forum. If you find a bug or have a specific feature request, please raise it in the issue tracker.
