The official word has always been "real soon now". My understanding is that
the timeline has been driven by legal issues (once you open source something,
you can't go back, no matter what AOL thinks :-), not technical ones.
The JSWDK announcement yesterday indicated that the Sun developers are working
on support for JSP 1.1/Servlet 2.2. If the developers are done before the
lawyers then Jakarta will come out of the box that way -- otherwise, the
updates will be contributed when they are completed.
The initial code contribution will include the HTTP engine that is in JSWDK,
but not connectors to Apache or any other web server. These will have to be
created, but it shouldn't take the open source community very long to do that.
To get the very earliest official announcement, go to
http://jakarta.apache.org and subscribe to the General mailing list. You'll
hear the word there first.
