These technologies couldn't be used under Linux if you have IBM SDK 1.3.
The Sun JDK 1.3.1 is mandatory. Why couldn't we use the IBM SDK ?

Also how many of the technologies reviewed are OpenSource ?

* JavaTM XML Pack Release which includes the following: 

 *JavaTM API for XML Messaging ("JAXM") 1.0 EA 1

        => Apache xml-common ?

* JavaTM API for XML Processing ("JAXP") 1.2 EA 1 (with XML Schema
support)

        => Apache Crimson/Xerces

* JavaTM API for XML Registries ("JAXR") 1.0 EA 1

        => is there OSS alternatives ?

* JavaTM API for XML-based RPC ("JAX-RPC") 1.0 EA 1

        => xml-axis ?

* JavaServer PagesTM Standard Tag Library ("JSTL") 1.0 EA 3

        => ???

Ant Build Tool 1.4.1

        = Ok, it's jakarta

Java WSDP Registry Server 1.0 EA 1

        => ???

Tomcat JavaTM Servlet & JavaServer PagesTM container 4.1-dev

        => jakarta-tomcat-4


Thanks to correct me if I made mistake and clarify if Sun plan 
to give back some APIs to Apache as they do for crimson and servlets ?

Regards
