Seen how long it takes to get a wiki page, I believe it would take too long to ask for the creation a jakarta-cactus2 module. In the future, we have to remember to ask for it a few months before we need it... ;-) I'm currently working on the build part of jakarta-cactus2 which is not yet working (will be soon now). I'm using Maven for the build. In the process I've created an AspectWerkz plugin for Maven. In term of code there isn't much: only the Test sample that I've put in the cactus2 proposal. I'm now trying to make it work through the build. > > When the new code is ready to be promoted out of the scratchpad, we > might also want to consider starting the new repository in SVN. > <http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/?root=Apache-SVN> I'm fine with trying new things. > > > We have also the option to request the creation of a > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list.
