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?
