In addition, the project is committed to certifying the implementation as [http://java.sun.com/j2ee/verified J2EE compliant]. This is an ambitious goal and will present a formidable challenge for the people involved, given the wide range of technologies covered by the specification. -The project (tentatively named [wiki:WhyApacheGeronimo Apache Geronimo]) builds upon the many [http://java.sun.com Java] projects at the Apache Software Foundation.

We would like to extend an open invitation to everyone involved in the J2EE space, both commercial entities and talented individuals, to join the community and build a world-class J2EE implementation. The Apache Software Foundation is in a unique position to build a J2EE compliant platform. Our non-profit, charity status, and our relationship with [http://sun.com Sun Microsystems], provides the foundation with access to the J2EE [wiki:TCK TCK]s, making it possible to achieve certification. In addition, our flexible and unrestrictive licensing makes it possible for a wide variety of participants to assist in the development of Apache Geronimo, and to build their own solutions upon the platform.
