In an open letter, Greg Stein, Chairman of the Apache Software Foundation, today announced the incubation of a new Apache project: "Geronimo". He writes:
AS YOU MAY have heard by now, the Apache Software Foundation has initiated a project to develop an open source, Apache-licensed implementation of the J2EE specification. In addition, the project is committed to certifying the implementation as J2EE compliant. This is an ambitious goal and will present a formidable challenge for the people involved, given the wide range of technologies covered by the specification.
The project (tentatively named "Apache Geronimo") builds upon the many Java projects at the Apache Software Foundation. In addition, the project is bringing together leading members of the Castor, JBoss, MX4J and OpenEJB communities. We would like to extend an open invitation to everyone involved in the J2EE space, both commercial entities and talented individuals, to join the community and build a world-class J2EE implementation.
Matthew Langham leads the open source group at S&N AG in Paderborn, Germany. When he has time he also writes about open source and emerging technologies. Matthew is the co-author of a New Riders book on the Apache open source project, Cocoon.
