I contacted Bob and he's happy to donate his work to Jakarta Commons and to
maintain it here. (He's already a Jakarta committer).
I've worked with Bob quite a bit over the last year on XML and XPath related
projects. I'll also volunteer to help out if I'm needed.
Since the werken-opt package is quite stable, how about we create a new
"options" project and put it into jakarta-commons, rather than the sandbox
first? I'll be happy to help out doing this and helping migrate packages and
adding the ASF licence.
So I'd like to call a vote to add "options" into Jakarta Commons proper
(assuming its got ASF licences and in package "org.apache.commons.options".
+1
