is a lot to think about [<a href="#Avalon1">1</a>,<a href="#Avalon2">2</a>,<a
href="#Avalon3">3</a>]. With avalon committers on the Incubator and Commons PMCs,
there's definately a promising perspective.</p>

bug fixes and enhancements in various places (like Avalon Phoenix now providing good
support for using log4j [<a href="#Avalon4">4</a>] and allowing customizable
classloader trees [<a href="#Avalon5">5</a>]). There's been work integrating catalina

+ <p>There is much talk over a new Clazz project,
hiding away in the Commons-Sandbox. Stephen Colebourne and Dmitri Plotnikov have been
leading a set of long threads on this. Aspects of this may see the BeanUtils project
transferring some of its low-level code over to Lang to assist in Java Reflection.</p>
+ <p>The Lang project will be
consuming some aspects of the Patterns [located in the sandbox] project's classes.</p>
+ <p>The FileUpload project has moved
from the sandbox to the main Commons repository. So expect a release to sneak onto the
horizon in the next few months here.</p>
+ <p>October was also home to a lot
of talk on a new Apache-level project known as the Apache-Commons. Inspired by you
know who, it seeks to provide reusable components with a level of language
agnosticism. Figuring out how the old Jakarta Commons works with the new Apache
Commons will probably take up time over the next half a year.</p>

+ <p>There is much talk over a new Clazz project, hiding away in the
Commons-Sandbox. Stephen Colebourne and Dmitri Plotnikov have been leading a set of
long threads on this. Aspects of this may see the BeanUtils project transferring some
of its low-level code over to Lang to assist in Java Reflection.</p>
+
+ <p>The Lang project will be consuming some aspects of the Patterns
[located in the sandbox] project's classes.</p>
+
+ <p>The FileUpload project has moved from the sandbox to the main
Commons repository. So expect a release to sneak onto the horizon in the next few
months here.</p>
+
+ <p>October was also home to a lot of talk on a new Apache-level
project known as the Apache-Commons. Inspired by you know who, it seeks to provide
reusable components with a level of language agnosticism. Figuring out how the old
Jakarta Commons works with the new Apache Commons will probably take up time over the
next half a year.</p>

project than all the time. But many of them have trouble directly reading original
English site. Most problems we are encounterd during development using jakarta
projects can be solved only if we search for site manuals. We want many people
directly searching informations by their convenient languages.</p>
- <p>Currently about 35 people participate in the project, and
Hangul translation of 13 subprojects is in progress. Tomcat, Struts, Ant Among those
have many volunteers more than three since interests in those subprojects are higher
than any others in Korea. At the end of this year, we plan to finish all documents in
Tomcat 4.X, Struts 1.0.2, POI, JMeter, Ant etc. We are all working with pure purpose
without any support from commercial corporation and without any reward.</p>

- <p>The biggest change to Lucene since Auguest was the addition
of a mechanism that allows Document and Field boosting [<a href="#Lucene1">1</a>].
This change allows one to give additional boost to certain documents and/or fields,
which results in those documents getting a higher ranking when they match a query.</p>

- <p>A new method, setPositionIncrement() in Token class was
added. This permits, for the purpose of phrase searching, placing multiple terms in a
single position. This is useful with stemmers that produce multiple possible stems
for a word. This also permits the introduction of gaps between terms, so that terms
which are adjacent in a token stream will not be matched by and exact phrase query.
This makes it possible, e.g., to build an analyzer where phrases are not matched over
stop words which have been removed. Finally, repeating a token with an increment of
zero can also be used to boost scores of matches on that token.</p>

<p>The Jakarta Newsletter tries to let people know what's been going on in
the Jakarta subprojects when they have been unable to monitor all of them themselves.
At the end of each month the various subprojects can submit a summary of what they
have been doing, and the whole thing gets posted on the web site and the announcements
mailing list a few days later. The current issue can be found at the top of the <a
href="#Archive">archive</a>.</p>
