Sorry about this mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I just did a reply to
a mail that was sent to me mentionning that I had to change the J2EEUnit
license and pmc was in copy. As I am new here I didn't know sending to pmc
was not relevant. I'm the only one to blame. This is the last mail you'll
receive from me ... :)

The J2EEUnit project was started on november 2000 and has been well
received. There have been more than 12,000 downloads and around 800 pages
viewed per day. It started as a one guy project (me) but there are now a few
users (I'd say around 3-4) also sending changes. Others (in the range of 20)
are sugessting changes but not doing the modifications themselves. The
majority are just end users.

Again, I'm not too familiar with the different options. From the previous
discussions I have had and followed, it seems that Jakarta-Commons would the
right place. This is where I have uploaded it.

It's a pity if I have to change the name ... I would of course very much
prefer to keep it. But I can see your point. Let's wait for others to
comment on that.

And sorry for my mistakes.
