All the jakarta (and particularly the commons bits) are infrastructure libraries that are used in an awful lot of java projects (including big apache projects like ant, tomcat, geronimo... but also your run-of-the- mill in-house java development, other big apps like eclipse, etc). The java world is huge, but a large part of its OSS elements united under the apache/jakarta umbrella several years ago. There is no big app named jakarta just like there is no big app named GNU but if you remove the jakarta bits very few large OSS java projects will run (I'm writing large because obviously small student projects care much less about component reuse) Now jakarta is big enough there are probably some bits in it that do not belong in core, but trust me the Red hat people are starting from the ground up and we're far from the point were java games are proposed for inclusion. Right now its strictly core library pool seeding. It will probably reach perl size before apps start trickling in (the difference being free java is split in small interdependent projects instead of a big centralised blob - the (stupid) jpackage counter is showing 1381 packages right now and a big part of the repository is infrastructure stuff not leaf apps) -- Nicolas Mailhot
