What is the Java Warehouse?

The Java Warehouse is the central repository for Java and JavaFX applications. Java developers can submit their applications to the Java Warehouse, and have them distributed through the multiple storefronts that interface to the Java Warehouse, including the Java Store. The Java Warehouse manages developer registration, application submission, content management, provisioning, and settlement. The Java Warehouse Developer portal is now in Beta, and can be accessed at http://java.sun.com/warehouse/.

When will Non-U.S. developers be able to sell in the Java Store?

The Java Warehouse Developer Portal is available only in the United States and a selection of countries. Although the Java Warehouse has recently been opened to the submission of free applications from selected locations outside of the U.S., the Java Store is available to U.S. consumers only.
