Notifications of all changes you make will be sent to the commons-dev@jakarta mailing list, so we will be aware of your changes and we will happily correct any small mistakes that you might make. |
We're a Jakarta community, dedicated to creating reusable library components in Java. Jakarta Commons is now using Subversion as the version control system.

Sandbox
TheSandbox is an open workspace for jakarta committers. This is also divided into components.
On this wiki:
- Id - Generators for identifiers
- CommonsCsv - Proposed new component
- Metadata - Proposed new component which provides a class metadata API similar to that of JDK5
