what's been going on :)</p>
-
- <p>Like many projects at apache, avalon has been busy discussing how to
fit into the new structure that is currently in the works. Being one of the projects
that has suffered most from 'scope creep', there is a lot to think about [<a

committers on the Incubator and Commons PMCs, there's definately a promising
perspective.</p>
-
- <p>There have also been quite a few 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 and jo! [<a
href="#Avalon6">6</a>] with phoenix.</p>
-
- <p>Following extended discussion [<a href="#Avalon7">7</a>,<a

of the delegate design pattern.</p>

- <p><b>Editor:</b> Jaechun Noh</p>
-
- <p>Java developers in Korea have more interests in jakarta 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>

1.2 branch [<a href="#Log4j1">1</a>]. Work on log4j version 1.3 has begun in

- <p>The committers have voted to require JDK 1.2 and drop support for

- <p>The DOMConfigurator is now able to parse configuration files that

to deal with dynamic properties [<a href="#Log4j4">4</a>]. The idea to use jelly in

- <section name="Lucene">
- <p><i>"a high-performance, full-featured text search
engine"</i></p>
- <p><b>Editor:</b> Otis Gospodnetic</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>Boris Okner [<a href="#Lucene2">2</a>] made a big contribution with
his Russian Analyzer.</p>
-
- <p>There was some smaller bug fixes, new classes (QueryFilter),
IndexWriter class got getAnalyzer() method, etc.</p>

the new standards, like JavaServer Faces and JSTL. </p>

However, a Struts JSTL taglib is available in the nightly build contrib directory and

<p><i>"Apache Ant is a Java-based build
tool"</i></p>
- <p><b>Editor:</b> Stefan Bodewig</p>
+ <p><b>Editor:</b> Stefan Bodewig,
Conor MacNeill</p>
<p>The biggest news in Ant land is
that Ant has been promoted to a top-level project at the board meeting in November.
Much of the discussion on ant-dev has been centered around the proposed board
resolution, the formation of the initial PMC and similar issues during the last
months. [<a href="#Ant1">1</a>,<a href="#Ant2">2</a>,<a href="#Ant3">3</a>]</p>
<p>While Ant is leaving the
oversight of the Jakarta PMC with this move, Ant's committers are not necessarily
leaving the Jakarta community, many of us will still be around and contribute where we
see fit. </p>
<p>After the release of Ant 1.5.1
at the beginning of October, we've kept on fixing smaller bugs in the 1.5 branch, so a
1.5.2 release is getting more likely. At the same time, development in the HEAD
branch is picking up momentum again as we start adding new features and experiment
with some stuff. [<a href="#Ant4">4</a>,<a href="#Ant5">5</a>]</p>
+ <p>The Ant GUI, Antidote, is being
revived and discussions are getting underway on the Ant-dev mailing list. If anyone
wants to get involved in this project, they are most welcome</p>
