Reasons for Jakarta would be: *) Good reuse of branding. Jakarta is still '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to many out there and I think we should use this instead of letting it drop. *) Helps Jakarta become a Java Federation. Code reflects community reflects code. By bringing the shared code to Jakarta, I believe the shared community will be enhanced. Commons is already shared code, though that is lessened recently because Jakarta is no longer the shared community. Bringing the spec jars to Jakarta will help bring the shared community. *) Jakarta is neutral ground in Java terms at Apache. Increasingly so as everyone leaves. Reasons for not Jakarta: *) Java specific. *) Existing community might be -1 [I've not seen negatives yet though] *) Have to mollify the worries about the 'old Jakarta'. *) It could just go under the jcp structure.
