Jakarta project
The Jakarta Project was started in 1999 by the Apache Software Foundation . It hosted, developed, and supported free software written in the Java programming language . Since 2005, more and more Jakarta projects have become Apache top-level projects. In December 2009 Jakarta still consisted of the following sub-projects:
- Byte Code Engineering Library (BCEL): makes it easier to analyze, create and manipulate Java bytecode .
- Bean Scripting Framework (BSF)
- Cactus (formerly J2EE Unit )
- Element Construction Set (ECS)
- JCS
- Apache JMeter
- ORO
- Regexp
On December 21, 2011, all former Jakarta projects were discontinued or became Apache top-level projects and Jakarta was thus ended.
