This product includes software released during incubation at The Apache Software Foundation." in addition, perhaps the MANIFEST could indicate that this is an incubator release. for example: Implementation-Vendor: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Software Foundation (rather than Implementation-Vendor: Apache Software Foundation as is standard) i'd probably also favour indicating the status in the name of the jar so incubator-xxx-1.0.jar rather than apache-xxx-1.0.jar. - robert
