I agree some,if not all, could definitely be retired. Maybe someone should propose JavaMail as a JSR for J2SE 1.7 so that it can be incorporated in Classpath too? ;) I suppose the usefulness of the list depends on active development. The website is sufficient to host and promote the existing code IMO. FWIW, my limited knowledge and a cursory glance at the website show GlassFish as dual-licensed under the CDDL and GPL: https://glassfish.dev.java.net/public/CDDL+GPL.html as is NetBeans now. I think it's even CPL with Classpath exception ;) Both are free, but CDDL is GPL-incompatible. -- Andrew :-) Support Free Java!
