Jakarta Project
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jakarta Project creates and maintains open source software for the Java platform. It operates as an umbrella project under the auspices of the Apache Software Foundation, and all of Jakarta products are released under the Apache License.
Major contributions by the Jakarta Project include tools, libraries and frameworks such as:
- BCEL - a Java byte code manipulation library
- BSF - a scripting framework
- Cactus - a unit testing framework for server-side Java classes
- Commons - a collection of useful classes intended to complement Java's standard library.
- ECS - The Element Construction Set is a Java API for generating elements for various markup languages.
- HttpComponents- The Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol.
- JCS - JCS is a distributed caching system written in java.
- JMeter - a load- and stress-testing tool.
- ORO - Java classes that provide Perl5 compatible regular expressions.
- POI - a pure Java port of Microsoft's popular file formats.
- Regexp - Pure Java Regular Expression package.
- Slide - a content repository primarily using WebDAV.
- Taglibs - Repository for JSP custom tag libraries.
- Turbine - a rapid development web application framework.
Following projects were formerly part of Jakarta:
- Ant - a build tool
- Maven - a project build and management tool
- Struts - a web application development framework
- Tomcat - a JSP/Servlet container
- Tapestry - A component object model based on JavaBeans properties and strong specifications.
- HiveMind - a services and configuration microkernel
- Velocity - a template engine.
A frequent question in discussions related to Jakarta regards the origin of the name. Jakarta is not directly named after the capital city of Indonesia (which happens to be located on the Java island), nor after the Jakarta blue butterfly species. Instead, it is named after the conference room at Sun Microsystems where the majority of discussions leading to the project's creation took place. For more of Jakarta's history, please see the JavaWorld article from June 1999.
