I'm +1 overall - but I have few sugestions and proposals.
Cool :-)
First: if it will be a jakarta project, I would like it to be all-jakarta, like gump - any jakarta ( apache ) committer should have access to it. I consider this an requirement ( I won't vote +1 without this ). I think that jakarta should become a single community, and I see no good reason for a project like that ( which affects the entire jakarta and more ) to not be jakarta-wide.I think this is a good idea. I will make this change to the proposal, if others dissent, please say so and why.
I am not very happy with the maven layout - which includes only jars. If this is aproved - I would like it to require a layout that supports all project components. I assume ( hope ) that part of this project will be an effort to convert jakarta projects to this layout, and alsoActually, this is only the *initial* codebase. We decided to follow the Maven layout to minimize duplication, but it will evolve/change in any way deemed best. We want the result and an active community round it, not the code (specifically, not necessarily /that/ code).
make the necesary changes to gump to generate output for the repository.
The proposal comprises Krysalis Version, which is an effort to define versions in an implementation indipendent way. I think that it's in the best interest of the project, to support multiple repositories too.
For example downloading from Sourceforge using their mirroring is another option that IMHO should be available. Of course this needs a metadata facility, similar to the one that JJAR has (and here comes the JJAR as an example), but this is already discussing the code details ;-)
