I was looking over the FastArrayList class (which I like) and noticed the methods 
setFast(boolean)
and getFast().  In my opinion, these would better (and more standardly) be named
'setFastModeEnabled' and 'isFastModeEnabled'.  At the very least, shouldn't getFast() 
be named
'isFast'?  It's a boolean indicator.

For another example, I also noticed methods called 'getNumActive' and 'getNumIdle' in 
ObjectPool. 
I think these would be better named 'getActiveCount' and 'getIdleCount' or something 
similar. 
This would reduce the unnecessary use of abbreviations and be more like stuff found 
elsewhere in
Java.

I'm not on a high horse-- what I'm really wondering is

1. Are there naming standards to which the Jakarta community adheres?
2. Is everything that has been previously named set in stone?  (If so, I won't bring 
such things
up.)

Thanks a lot.

Jeff
