It's a Jakarta naming scheme and not a Jakarta Commons one afaik. No
jakarta projects include jakarta in their naming scheme.

I imagine the reasons are:

1) Legacy. org.apache.java became Jakarta.
2) Ownership. This underlines that Apache own the code and not Jakarta.

But you'd have to find some aging old-timer from the early days to give
you the 'when I was in the war' story.
