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 ?
