[orbit-dev] Rename: Apache Commons is no longer Jakarta Commons

["Oberhuber, Martin" <Martin.Oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Team,

 

I noticed that the Apache Commons project got their completely

own server and other infrastructure, and they don't like to refer

to themselves as "Jakarta Commons" any more.

 

Currently, links pointing to http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/net

for instance are redirectred to http://commons.apache.org/net/

but it's unclear how long that will be the case.

 

For Commons Net, I decided to purge the term "Jakarta" from

the Orbit contribution to avoid confusion. I noticed that according

to the ip-log, following libs may also be affected:

   org.apache.commons.cli

   org.apache.commons.codec

   org.apache.commons.lang

 

The following moved to apache HttpComponents project, its URL

is now http://hc.apache.org/

   org.apache.commons.httpclient

 

Jakarta ORO is still Jakarta so no change here:

   org.apache.oro

 

Attached is a patch of the changes that I've been making for

Commons Net. If you think that such changes (including

about.html and readable plugin name as well as URL

pointing to the LICENSE) should not be made, please let me know.

 

Discussion is open.

 

Thanks,
