I've used this before:
http://linkchecker.sourceforge.net/
And it seems to be ok.

I wonder if there's a link checker doodad that we could run on *.a.o,
perhaps as a cron job, and have it send out Gump-like nag messages
when something breaks?

it's hard to know which projects links to jakarta and where would be 
the right place to post any advance warning. so, though i definitely 
take your point, i'm not sure that there's much that can be done.

i do try to ensure that any changes i make do not break links. the 
redirects should ensure that this doesn't happen.

what i will try to do is to collect and collate the changes (once 
there's a reasonable number) and post an email to community detailing 
the new pages and together with the redirected pages from jakarta. this 
should allow projects which may be linking to redirects to update their 
links.

Robert,

> and is any planning needed so that no toes are stepped on?

An advance heads-up would warn other projects which might link to those
pages. Though as a redirect wouldn't break the links I guess its not that
important, James has been bitten by Jakarta changes before, though I hasten
to add it is James' own fault for not moving quick enough, and anyway I
don't think this would affect James.

I say go for it.
I'll be replacing project.xml with a site.xml for the 3-tier change, but 
it won't be hard to keep that in sync with any menu items you remove. I 
want to get away from project.xml due to the maven connotations, too 
confusing and it really describes a site, not a project.

The only other thing that should change when I commit 3-tier is the 
site.xsl.
