It's not "administatively forcing a separation", it's a natural consequence of a particular group of components growing up together and "graduating" with a common purpose. The HttpClient component grew into the Jakarta HTTP Components subproject, and the Jakarta Web Components subproject will likely absorb some Commons components as well. What makes it wrong, or even different, for a group of Java-language-focussed components to "graduate" into Jakarta Language Components? To me, it's simply a natural evolution of the community. -- Martin Cooper > I'm +1 to the idea of splitting Commons up into groupings - provided > > we don't break up the community. > > -0 to splitting into groupings, I'm fine with organizing the layout of > websites into groups that just cosmetic categories but I'm not going > to endorse anything that splits Commons developers. > > -- > Sandy McArthur > > "He who dares not offend cannot be honest." > - Thomas Paine > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >
