I don't recall off the top of my head, but I suspect it was that we didn't have jakarta versions of the Geronimo API jars and some APIs were updated slightly, like EJB, so a straight translation would hit issues. I think it was a "I don't want to deal with this now" move. We could use either, though there is no longer the licensing restriction that forced us to create the Geronimo API jars in the first place. Were it me, I'd continue to use the jars which are implementations (javamail, activation, etc), but the others that are pure APIs, I'm not sure it's worth the effort. -David
