Because that is exactly what Jakarta is --- Jakarta is a community of
historic origin that oversees many projects written in Java.

When you go to the grocery store, do you expect to be provided with one
single set of cooking instructions for the frozen goods section?

When I read the installation documentation for OpenNMS, I see that it tells
you that you need Tomcat, provides a direct link to that project, and tells
you that it is PART OF [emphasis mine] the Jakarta Project of the Apache
Software Foundation.

If one were to RTFM, one would reach
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/index.html, which has links to the Tomcat
binary downloads, manuals, etc.
