For all the Servlet and JSP people out there...
----- Forwarded message from James Davidson <duncan@x180.com> -----
> It's my pleasure to announce that the Jakarta Project is now LIVE.
>
> Almost exactly one year ago, several people from Sun, IBM, and the Apache
> Group (now the Apache Software Foundation) met in Cupertino CA in a
> conference room named "Jakarta". The topic of the meeting: How could we all
> cooperate in the development of Java technologies on the Web server.
>
> What eventually resulted was that Sun made the decision to release the
> reference implementations for the Servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP)
> specifications to the Apache Software Foundation so that development of
> these technologies could take place in a open and collaborative way. The
> specifications will continue to be sheparded by Sun under the Java Community
> Process.
>
> Sun and the Apache Software Foundation annouced our intent to form the
> Jakarta Project last June at JavaOne. Over the course of the last few
> months, all the necessary peices came together for release: The Project
> Management Committee was formed, all the necessary legal agreements were
> executed, the project guidelines were created, and the code was prepared.
>
> A week ago, we transferred the code over to the Apache Software Foundation's
> servers and started making our final prepartions. After a lot of work by a
> lot of people, we were ready to proceed.
>
> So here we are. We've turned it all on, the locks have been removed. The
> code is open. What comes next is up to you.
>
> There's a whole new website at:
>
> http://jakarta.apache.org
>
> The website contains information about who we are, how the project works,
> and how you can contribute. By all means, it's not done (it will *never* be
> done) and there are lots of things that will be filled in over the next few
> days / weeks / months. But its enough to get you started.
>
> There's 3 source code repositories that are part of Jakarta:
>
> jakarta-tomcat
> jakarta-watchdog
> jakarta-tools
>
> Jakarta-Tomcat is the workspace that contains "Tomcat". Tomcat is the
> implementation of the servlet and JSP specifications. More to the point, it
> is currently considered to be a beta quality implementation of the Servlet
> 2.2 and JSP 1.1 specifications. To start contributing, subscribe to the
> tomcat-dev mailing list available on the website.
>
> Jakarta-Watchdog is the workspace that contains "Watchdog". Watchdog is a
> collection of API tests for the servlet and JSP specifications. Over time,
> this will grow to become a comprehensive test suite so that any server that
> implements the JSP and Servlet specifications can be tested for adherence to
> the specifications. To start contributing, subscribe to the watchdog-dev
> mailing list available on the website.
>
> Jakarta-Tools is a collection of tools that are used in the other
> workspaces. These tools are "Ant", a Java based build tool that we use
> instead of make; and "Moo", a Java based client server test harness which is
> used in Watchdog and in the product tests located in the Tomcat workspaces.
>
> The source code repositories are available via:
>
> WebCVS
> Anonymous CVS
> Downloadable snapshots
>
> Over the next weeks, builds will start becoming available.
>
> I'd like to mention again that a *lot* of people contributed to the effort
> to get this off the ground and rolling. I'd like to thank all of them here
> and now for all their help in getting to this point. You know who you are!
>
> Enjoy!
