Hi Uwe,

I would not say commonly used but this is an option for smaller projects to 
find a home - and Apache Commons Sandbox IS the incubator of Apache Commons. 

To make the things clearer 

* checkout commons-email or commons-exec (Disclaimer - I contributed to both 
projects)
* commons-email actually stems from Apache Turbine and was probably promoted to 
a regular component quickly
* commons-exec was a dormant in the sandbox for some time before there was 
enough activity to justify a regular Apache Commons component
* both can be considered useful but there are not sexy (actually you could call 
them outright boring), have little code and get an occasionally a release
* as Apache Commons committer you have a SVN karma for all components

Cheers,

Siegfried Goeschl
