I consider the current development stand of Apache Droids as stable after enhancing the multi-thread feature and finishing the default implementation. The default droid and worker is a simple crawler that scraps a webpage and saves the resources to disk. It is highly extensible and in my current work project I am using 5 different droids that are running very smooth. This droids are extending the default implementation and are adding business specific logic. Some of this droids are connecting to another web site to get some data and invoke then the parsing of this data to generate an internal representation of them and send them to an Apache Solr server. Another droids simply crawls a file system to edit specific files with the result of a database query. I like to start the move to the incubator with Droids with the HttpComponents project sponsoring it.
