I believe, but cannot find the
thread, that Kathy Sierra has announced once that the beta exam will be available the earliest at the end of this year.
On the other hand the beta version has just been released (february) and the closing date was March.
IBM, BEA and HP did approve the current ongoing version but would like to see CORBA 2.6 support for JSR 176 - J2SE 1.5 Tiger.
I assume some kind of battle is still going on ...
