I have recently started a project in the Java Foundry on Sourceforge called "Jestr", and it seems like it might be a natural fit for the Jakarta Commons project. You can read about it here:> Jestr is still Beta software and I would not recommend it for promotion to the Commons proper at this

The project uses many Jakarta Commons components and is released under the Apache Software License.

I just wanted to gauge whether there was any interest in accepting it here. If so, I would of course rename

At a glance, this looks interesting.
I sometimes wish that there was a way to define and "register" things at runtime like toString()s, comparators,
equals(), and converters without having to modify the actual class. So that instead of having to make an explicit call
to your special toString(), it would just magically happen. But, I guess this is what AOP is for.
