RE:

There is already precedent set where apache projects have in the src code which 
is not org.apache package, so the worry we are having code which isnt 
org.apache is not needed as precendent has been set (though agree we should 
only ever do this where only required such as the case i had to for the 
integration point into ehcache)

example being myfaces project:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/myfaces/core/trunk/api/src/main/java/javax/faces/

The net.sf package anyhow normally by convention from projects that began in 
sourceforge opensource repository. the ehcache project itself was fully open 
sourced (apache license) and was revied by asf its self.

As such no legal issues exist in using net.sf or the echache package, as this 
is apache license source package we are using.
