2011/12/21 - Jakarta has been retired.

The Commons team of the Jakarta Project of the ASF is happy to announce the release of Commons Email 1.0.

Jakarta Commons Email provides an API for sending email. It is built on top of the Java Mail API, which it aims to simplify.

While this is the first official release for Commons Email, the code itself has been available through the commons sandbox and the commons proper for a very long time and is considered mature and stable by the developers.

Commons Email is available here as source and binary from the Apache Mirror System. It will also be available from the Apache Java repository and the Maven main repository.

The Apache Tomcat team is proud to announce the immediate availability of Tomcat 5.5.12-alpha. This version contains several bug fixes, including an important change to session attribute storage concurrency that is required by the upcoming Servlet Specification v2.5. In addition to these changes, this release is a significant milestone for two reasons:

This release is the last one to be done using the CVS repository at Apache. The Tomcat team is moving to the Subversion (SVN) repository as part of the overall Apache initiative to do so. Access instructions for the SVN repository are available at Apache's repositories page. The move is expected to be complete within the next week.

This release is also likely the last one to use the Jakarta pages. As part of Tomcat's move to a top-level project (TLP) at Apache, we will be migrating our content to http://tomcat.apache.org, which is still under construction at this time. That site will have its own download pages and related information. We will keep the key jakarta URLs intact with redirection, but please keep an eye out and update your bookmarks to http://tomcat.apache.org as/when appropriate. As part of the TLP move, distribution names have changed from jakarta-tomcat-* to apache-tomcat-*, and similar minor branding changes will gradually become visible in the web site and documentation. We thank the Jakarta project for its support over the years, and we will continue collaborating on projects and issues of common interest.

The Release notes are available at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/RELEASE-NOTES

The latest beta release of Tapestry 4.0 is now available. Tapestry is a component based web application framework that provides lots of functionality with minimal Java coding, and creates an environment that supports high levels of reuse. This is another a bug fix release, building on the beta-6 release. This release continues to fill in missing component documentation, and improved error reporting in a number of areas. Further, component types may now include slashes (to allow organizing them into folders, in the same way that pages can be organized). Class names of managed beans may now be abbreviated, much like the way page and component class names may be abbreviated. A full listing of bug fixes is available in the change log.

Tapestry is provided as a combined binary/source distribution, and a separate documentation distribution.

Tapestry is a component based web application framework that provides lots of functionality with minimal Java coding, and creates an environment that supports high levels of reuse. This is another a bug fix release, building on the beta-5 release. This release fixes a number of bugs with client-side input validation and user input focus. The LinkSubmit component and the Inspector subsystem were overhauled. As importantly, many gaps in the component reference documentation have been filled. Finally, a number of minor changes were made to move Tapestry towards general XHTML compliance. A full listing of bug fixes is available in the change log.

The Turbine team has decided to do some actual software paleontology and do a release of the long standing Turbine 2.3.x component layer called "Stratum". This release is intended as a closure to replace all the alpha and beta versions floating around. There is no further development beyond the 1.0 version planned.

Turbine Stratum is distributed as binary including all documentation and as a source distribution. The jar itself is also available through the ibiblio Maven repository.

The fifth beta release of Tapestry 4.0 is now available. Tapestry is a component based web application framework that provides lots of functionality with minimal Java coding, and creates an environment that supports high levels of reuse. This is another a bug fix release, building on the beta-4 release. Many of the fixes in this release were improvements to client-side JavaScript, including client-side input validation. The way Tapestry forms client-side element ids is now XHTML conformant (no use of the dollar sign, no leading underscores). The Form component has a new listener parameter, success, that is only invoked when validation is successful. A full listing of bugs fixes is available in the change log.

The RDC Taglib Project Team is pleased to announce that the RDC Taglib Project has graduated from Taglibs-Sandbox and joined Taglibs-Proper. The RDC sources, the RDC nightly build and the RDC website have moved accordingly; and a new RDC component has been added to the Taglibs section of bugzilla.
The RDC 1.0 Release was cut last week.

For many months, the Apache java repository has contained an unofficial snapshot named commons-cli-1.0 rather than the official 1.0 release. This jar has been mirrored to ibiblio and made available through Maven as commons-cli-1.0. I'd like to extend apologies to you all on behalf of the Jakarta team for this mistake. Sorry.

The existing jar has now been replaced by the official 1.0 release. (This change may take several hours to work it's way through to the mirrors.) Maven users who use commons-cli directly or indirectly may be effected by this change. It is recommended that maven users should wait 24 hours (to allow the mirrors to sync) and then delete the version of commons-cli in their local repository. They should then rebuild and retest their code. It is recommended that all who can should switch to use the official release.

There is a small risk that some code may be broken by this change. However, is no reason to suspect that the original jar has been tampered with: it is just wrongly named. For those who require it, it is available as commons-cli-20040117.000000 from ibiblio. Some users may need to update their project.xml to use this version (rather than the official release).

Please direct any questions to the user list at Jakarta Commons.

Betwixt provides a flexible way to map beans into XML - and vice versa.

Betwixt 0.7 is a feature release. A number of new strategies have been introduced to add flexibility. Improvements have been made to binding and introspection including improved support for polymophism. Improvements have been made to the dot betwixt file format including support for multiple specifications within the same file.

Betwixt 0.7 is binary compatible with 0.6 but a number of changes have been made to some semantics. It is believed that the impact of these changes should be minimal.

Download Commons Betwixt 0.7. Please remember to check the sum and verify the signature.

The 1.0 release of the Reusable Dialog Components (RDC) Taglib is now available.
JSP 2.0 based Reusable Dialog Components (RDC) is a framework for creating JSP taglibs that aid in rapid development of voice and multimodal applications. Server-side generation of HTML has proven an effective way of generating the user interface for visual Web applications that are implemented using server-side application frameworks such as Struts. Over time, the effort involved in such HTML generation has been reduced by the availability of various JSP tag libraries that abstract away the minutiae of HTML markup. The goal of the RDC project is to achieve for voice applications what JSP tag libraries have already achieved in the world of visual Web applications.

Downloads:
Binaries and source distributions are available separately. The binaries contain web archives providing documentation, examples and sample applications; in addition to the RDC Taglib java archive and an external TLD for quick reference.
