Given two projects which are duplicating effort, such as Commons/Excalibur or all the DBCP-style components, or a project such as mod_webapp/jk where the older version is still in development, I think it is important for there to be documentation concerning the difference. To be saying to developers/users of the code that these things do the same and you should probably just look at the functionalities to see which you think is best, read the archives to see which you think is still worked on, most stable, has the best direction, is a pretty poor service. Jakarta has long maintained two Regexp engines, and when you read the documentation there is a part (I'm not sure if both have it) which explains why there are two, which is better for which situation, and which is still being improved. This documentation is difficult to make, who is sitting in the middle enough to write a good view, but is sorely needed. When I went looking for the latest mod_jk and discovered mod_webapp it was very hard to discern what their roles were. I believe because jk had just had a release.
