I know you got your specific technical concerns addressed later in this thread, but I'd like to express a personal opinion that the fact that all the commons projects share dev and user mailing lists has been criticial to the overall success of Jakarta Commons. In particular, the cross-fertilization we see of developers picking up on needs in related subprojects would have *never* happened if all the dev lists were separate. > 2.
