I'm +1 overall - but I have few sugestions and proposals. 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 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 also make the necesary changes to gump to generate output for the repository.
