Good for you, most java developers that I know have 1-3 java projects
bookmarked.  Its likely tomcat and struts are two of them and then one other
that they use frequently.  Additionally they likely have ant.  Based on this
they navigate up the site and go to other information as they are prompted.
I've deliberately watched this behavior on several occasions by prompting
developers to go to various pages at Apache while not specifying I meant
Jakarta.  Only a few went to the main site and all of them had installed
HTTPD recently ;-)
