Most promising new JSRs?

Fairly recently I have picked up a very useful web service framework, Jersey (JAX-RS aka jsr-311; and its rock start implementation), and a nifty validation library Hibernate Validator ("Bean Validation API", jsr-303).

Both of these jsrs are relative new-comers, which makes me wonder what else I may be missing -- given that there are hundreds of JSRs, with various level of progress, activity and potential, it is not easy to track them all.

So beyond 2 I have mentioned, what else do others consider promising and worth paying attention to?

Agreed, interesting -- I kind of like OSGi, although only used it lightly so far (and converting some libs to run as proper OSGi bundles).I have also wondered why the seeming NIH syndrome from JSR process part (i.e. OSGi predates alternatives, but was largely ignored within its domain). Oh well, that's happened before (log4j vs J.U.L for example)

The ones I would like to see implemented more often in mobile handsets are JSR-239 OpenGL-ES Binding (with the nifty NIO buffers) and JSR-256 Sensor API (which at least bears some relationship with OSGi).
