DbUtils and DBCP to db.apache.org sounds like a win to me; DBCP would
point back to Jakarta for a dependency on [pool], but that helps to foster

Betwixt, Digester and JXPath strike me as a bit more to swallow and XML
might not want to taking such bites. You want to go ahead and ask them?
Well, yes, JXPath migh be a bit much, but Digester and Betwixt IMO
would fit nicely.
And obviously the component developers should agree first whether they
think this is a good idea. And if they are interested, I can ask the
DB PMC if they agree, as well.
I don't think there is any active maintenance for DbUtils, and I suspect
not for DBCP either. I've been meaning to do some work on DbUtils - but I
have a long list of those.
However, I have no direct connections to XML PMC, and since I'm not an
comitter on Digester/Betwixt/JXPath, it would feel a bit strange to me
(though I would if you want me to).
Go ahead and propose each one (db and xml) separately on commons-dev. See
if anyone speaks up against it - I suspect you'll find that for
betwixt/jxpath/dbutils/dbcp there won't be a huge amount of talk, though
Struts uses digester (I think) and they might have an opinion (they're
well represented on commons-dev).
We're only going to end up with a Jakarta XML Components at this rate;
which would suck. The DB ones would either be in a Jakarta SQL Components
(suck) or a Jakarta Enterprise Components. The latter isn't so bad, but as
Geronimo shows - there's a lot in J2EE and I suspect that grouping would
balloon.
