Sorry you find it excessive. Think about any real-world system (Windows,
UNIX) and you will find some thing(s) arbitrary or historical about it.
My first exposure to Tomcat 5.5 is installing
and configuring with IIs. Not a big deal....except the naming conventions.
files -> Tomcat
environment variables -> catalina
IIs service names -> jakarta
For the files in /conf
web.xml -> org.apache.catalina.servlets
tomcat-user.xml
catalina.properties
Tomcat is the program's name. Catalina is a major rewrite of internals.
Jakarta is the name of the top-level Apache project (people are voting
this very week to move out from under it, so hopefully we can at least
replace most occurences of "jakarta" with "tomcat" over the next 'n'
releases). Web.xml is out of our control: the filename and format of
Web.xml is in Sun's J2EE Servlet Specification; the name prefix
org.apache is used by all(?) Apache Java projects, and is in keeping
with Sun's J2SE package naming conventions.
Need I go on? Choose a name, use that name, KISS.
OSS should not mean Outrageously Stupid Symbol-names
Glad your acronym parser/generator is working at peak efficiency :-)
