This sounds good to me as an initiative.
I am bit worried with the title apr (or is it acr?)
since it overlaps a lot with apache httpd's apr (which is
widespread in many distributions as one of the bases of
httpd).
I thought the name should be (Apache Commons Runtime).
The short project name is just 'runtime' under commons.
Why runtime?
Eg. JDK comes with Runtime.exec()
However project will allow things like running the process
under different user credentials, getting its pid.
Getting the uid/gid of the running JVM, cpu utilization,
system memory profile, listing process and process modules,
etc.
Of course process is just one set of objects.
Would it make sense for this to be rolled into the [exec] component?
Nope, although exec could use it as a provider just like I plan
the daemon would use it for doing the seteuid/setegid and
detach.
Process and process management is just one set of classes.
The purpose is to fill in the gap between JDK and modern
operating systems where JDK is always a decade behind.
In essence this is for os what eclipse swt is for gui.
