I was on the original JSR 107. Oracle was the 'sponsor' of it. Nobody in the JSR wanted to work for Oracle for free and the JSR just never went anywhere. Brian Goetz and some others eventually started working on the API regardless of Oracle. Eventually Oracle dropped out of the JSR and someone else took over. That was like 8-9 years ago I think. That said, it is kind of a dead JSR simply because nobody has picked it up.
I'm currently switching my apps from jboss cache 1.x to ehcache. It is much faster, better statistics and generally just works fine. The API is a bit clunky (why isn't there a cache.put(Object, Object)?, but it works well enough.
