Summary

The Apache Jakarta Commons project is a unique repository of open source Java components. As you take advantage of the Commons, keep in mind the hard work that has gone into developing and maintaining this software. The Apache license represents one of the least selfish approaches toward software in the world, and this is repaid in tremendous goodwill and respect. If you can, consider donating some of your own time to this project. Download the source via CVS, participate on the mailing lists, and contribute code. Learn, listen, and comment with grace, and you will be repaid many times over.
