The Apache Click team is pleased to announce its first release from the Apache incubator.
Apache Click is a modern page and component oriented web framework and
provides a natural rich client style programming model that is very easy
to learn and use.
This release is based upon the pre-Apache 1.5.1 code base with the major
difference that 2.0.1 uses "org.apache.click" packages. Both 1.5.1 and
2.0.1 are considered stable and only bug fixes will be applied to these
branches. New development will happen on 2.1.0, the next major version
of Click.
You can visit the Click home page here:
http://incubator.apache.org/click/
Version 2.0.1 can be downloaded from the following page:
http://incubator.apache.org/click/docs/downloads.html
For full details about the release please see our changelog:
http://incubator.apache.org/click/docs/roadmap-changes.html
Enjoy.

Apache Click is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. Incubation is
required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates
that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process
have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF
projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the
completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project
has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
The Apache Incubator Sanselan team is proud to announce our latest release: Apache Sanselan 0.97-incubating.

The Apache UIMA team is pleased to announce the first release of the UIMA-AS add-on for UIMA. (The release number is 2.2.2-incubating to correspond with the base UIMA level).
UIMA-AS adds a highly flexible, robust, and easy to use scaleout capability to the core UIMA framework; it can be considered to be a next-generation replacement for the original CPM (Collection Processing Management) scaleout that is part of the core UIMA framework.
Now you can selectively scale up (to take advantage of multiple cores) or scale out (over local and/or wide area networks) just those analytics that need the scaling, thus allowing optimization of computing resources. UIMA-AS has been successfully used on multiple projects, and scaled out to 100's of cores, with no limit in sight.
It makes use of JMS (Java Messaging Services) and uses Apache ActiveMQ to support messaging between components. Already written UIMA Components can take advantage of UIMA-AS scaleout with no code or component descriptor changes.
There is a short writeup that describes more details about the new capabilities and how to get started using it, on the UIMA website: http://incubator.apache.org/uima/doc-uimaas-what.html
UIMA is a component framework supporting integration and deployment of components for the analysis of unstructured content such as text, audio, and video; the main web-site is here: http://incubator.apache.org/uima/index.html
Thank you for your interest in Apache UIMA-AS. We look forward to hearing about your experience in using this new capability.

The Apache OpenJPA Project Team is pleased to announce that the Apache Incubator has recommended, and the Apache Board of Directors has accepted, a resolution to create the Apache OpenJPA Top Level Project.
Apache OpenJPA is a project that implements Object Relational Mapping, and currently implements the standard JCP JSR-220 Java Persistence API (JPA). The latest release passes the JCP TCK for JSR-220 100%, meaning it is fully compliant with the standard.
Starting with a contribution by BEA of the mapping engine and JPA interface from the popular Kodo project, OpenJPA attracted support from a diverse set of contributors, committers, and users from independent individuals and companies, including several Apache projects. The project has learned how to govern itself and has produced two releases while in incubation.
To assist in developing persistence applications OpenJPA works out-of-the-box with popular IDE's such as Eclipse and Netbeans. Additionally, plugin modules are available for the Apache Maven software project management and comprehension tool.
Many projects have adopted OpenJPA to provide the Object Relational Mapping for their needs, including Apache ActiveMQ, BEA Kodo, BEA WebLogic Server, Apache Camel, Apache Geronimo, Apache Ode, Apache OpenEJB, and IBM WebSphere Application Server. The community plans shortly to release version 1.0.0 of OpenJPA, reflecting the maturity and production quality of the code base.
Additionally, OpenJPA has been integrated with numerous other frameworks including Spring Framework, GlassFish, JOnAS Application Server, Sun Java System Application Server.

The Apache Derby development community is pleased to announce its first release after being accepted into the Apache Incubator, Apache Derby 10.0.2.1. Derby can be downloaded from here.
Derby is a pure Java, standards-based relational database engine. Derby aims to be an easy to use solution for data management for software developers with zero administration for end users.
The release serves as a baseline for future development of Derby, and to allow users to begin using an official release. It also contains a number of bug fixes and other changes. See the CHANGES file in the distribution for a full list of changes.
Apache Derby is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision-making process have stabilised in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

Following various discussions with the Apache Avalon PMC, select ASF members and others, the active developers of the Merlin source code together with a number of dedicated users have formulated a plan to escalate and expand the development of the Metro platform outside of ASF.
We have compiled a complete roadmap of what this means in practical terms to various user groups, available at;
http://www.dpml.net/dpml/admin/pdfs/metro-roadmap-20041007.pdf
We hope that this document covers most aspects of the involved fork, even though it is not yet complete. For instance, the document doesn't yet explain exactly how this will take form.
We are not fully up to speed (yet), but have the following resources available, which should be sufficient for most users at this point in time;
(paris.dpml.net will become operational *soon*, as we are awaiting ibiblio.org admin's to add the host to the DNS and a new IP to be installed. Sorry for the inconvenience, and announcement of availability will be made on the admin-dpml@ mailing list.)
We would like to thank the entire ASF, members, committers and users for the time at the Apache Avalon project, for their valuable support and the experience we have gained. Perhaps Metro's and ASF's paths meet again in the future.

The Apache DB project has voted to sponsor Derby through the incubator. For more details see the general incubator list.
Apache XMLBeans Project has graduated out the Apache Incubator Project to become Top Level Project in the Apache Software Foundation. Apache XMLBeans provides a simplified model for interacting with XML documents. The project originated with a contribution from BEA Inc., however, after its time within the Apache Incubator, it is now a full-fledged Apache community and codebase under Apache License 2.0. Cliff Schmidt is the Chair of the new Apache XMLBeans PMC (Project Management Committee).
Note:
This is one of the steps of the Apache XML Project to promote its projects upwards and become a federation, or a central information repository, of all the XML-related projects at the ASF. Look for more promotions over the next few months.
The resolution below was brought before the Board of the Apache Software Foundation, and has passed. SpamAssassin has graduated from the Apache Incubator Project to become a full-fledged top level project in the Apache Software Foundation. Daniel Quinlan will be the PMC Chair of the Apache SpamAssassin.
This was finally made possible now that Network Associates officially transferred ownership of the SpamAssassin trademarks to the Apache Software Foundation. The Apache Software Foundation is now the proud owner of the fantastic SpamAssassin brand and the codebase. The SpamAssassin team is on the verge of releasing a long overdue 3.0 release.

BEA and Apache Software Foundation Announce Project Beehive to be Part of Apache Open Source Community
"Apache Beehive" Planned as Industry's First Easy-to-Use Open Source Application Framework for Building Service-Oriented Architectures and Enterprise Java-based Applications
SAN FRANCISCO BEA eWORLD 2004 CONFERENCE May 25, 2004
BEA Systems (Nasdaq: BEAS), the worlds leading application infrastructure software company, and the Apache Software Foundation today announced the acceptance of Project Beehive as an open-source project in the Apache community. Based on the runtime application framework in BEA WebLogic Workshop, Apache Beehive is designed to be the industrys first, easy-to-use, open source foundation for building enterprise Java and service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications. Apache Beehive is designed to foster new innovations through industry wide collaboration, ensure investment protection for both developer skills and applications, and expand the community of Java developers.
Through Apache Beehive, BEA is broadening the appeal of its innovations by collaborating with the open source community, said Greg Stein, chairman, Apache Software Foundation. With the momentum of the open-source community, Apache Beehive has the potential to make Java enterprise application development easier to use giving developers state-of-the-art innovations for any Java platform.
The Apache Software Foundation, the leading open source community partner for commercial companies, provides organizational, legal, and financial support for a broad range of open source software projects. The Apache Software Foundation can ensure the continuity of open source software projects beyond the participation of individual volunteers and can enable contributions of intellectual property and financial support on a sound basis providing a vehicle for limiting legal exposure for open source contributors. Projects overseen by the Apache Software Foundation can carry forth the commitment to open collaboration, active participation from the Internet developer community and commercial grade, freely available software.
Apache Beehive further builds on key Apache projects with which BEA has had either direct or indirect involvement, such as XMLBeans, Tomcat, Struts, and Axis. With Beehive, BEA is helping to strengthen the open source community by contributing top BEA engineering talent joined with the expertise of the larger BEA WebLogic Workshop developer community. BEA is also pleased that several veteran open-source developers in Apache have agreed to help guide the direction of the project.
BEA WebLogic Workshop consists of two major technologies, a powerful integrated development environment and an application framework, to help abstract some of the more complex tasks associated with Java Web and SOA development, said Scott Dietzen, chief technology officer, BEA Systems. The Apache Foundation was our first choice for the Beehive open source project. With the Apache community's help in open sourcing the Workshop application framework, we hope to help a greater number of Java developers build and orchestrate Java applications far more easily and without having to sacrifice portability and long-term investment protection.
Beehive will be based on award-winning technology found in BEA WebLogic Workshop, including Java annotations, Java Controls, Java Web services and Java Page Flows, which drive increased interoperability and developer productivity. Project Beehive leverages WebLogic Workshops Controls, reusable meta-data driven software components based on drag-and-drop technology that can easily integrate into BEA and other software platforms. In addition, Beehive also builds on BEAs innovative Web services programming capabilities that allow for easier consumption and management of services, and page flows, which can help developers quickly and easily define and view page transitions between applications. Project Beehive can attract new users to a simpler way to build enterprise Java applications, while also attracting experienced Java Web and J2EE programmers with a model that is designed to save them from writing the same Java plumbing code over and over again.
Pricing and Availability
Beehive is expected to be available this summer for free under the standard Apache 2.0 license. For more information on Beehive, please visit http://dev2dev.bea.com/technologies/beehive/index.jsp

The Apache Incubator accepts the Beehive project for Incubation.
Apache XMLBeans Team has released XMLBeans Version 1.0.2.
Apache XMLBeans 1.0.2 can be accessed from the Source and Binaries section
of the XMLBeans site at http://xml.apache.org/xmlbeans/sourceAndBinaries/index.html.
Apache XMLBeans is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the XML project.
Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
Apache jUDDI (pronounced 'Judy') implements the Universal, Description, Discovery and Integration specification (UDDI) for Web Services. It has now graduated from the Apache Incubator Project to the Apache Web Services Project.
Bon Voyage!
JaxMe is an open source implementation of JAXB, the specification for Java/XML binding.
JaxMe was an incubated subproject under the sponsorship of The Apache Software Foundation's (ASF) Web Services project. Incubation is required for all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects.
There was a VOTE on pmc@incubator and they've finally VOTEed in to graduate JaxMe from Apache Incubator Project - and JaxMe has formally joined in the umbrella under The Apache Web Services Project. Congratulations,
For more information, see http://ws.apache.org/jaxme/ - Apache JaxMe Website
The Apache Avalon Project and The Apache Incubator Project are very pleased to announce that the vote for the graduation has passed and MerlinDeveloper now has a new home in The Apache Avalon Project. Special thanks to Leo Simons for helping the project through The Apache Incubator Project and Andreas for his work on the new project.

jax-qname.jar, and namespace.jar from the JAXB RI.
JaxMeXS, a parser for XML Schema, specifically designed for code for details.
JaxMeJS, a generic framework for writing source generators. It views for details.
XMLBeans is an XML-Java binding tool that uses XML Schema as a basis for generating Java classes to be used to easily access XML instance data. It was designed to provide both easy access to XML information via convenient Java classes as well as complete access to the underlying XML, combining the best of low-level, full access APIs like SAX and DOM with the convenience of Java binding.
The Apache Incubator provides an entry path to the Apache Software Foundation. XMLBean has been accepted and is starting to make it's first steps along this path with the Apache XML Project as the eventual destination. The source has now been entered into ASF repositories and the mailing lists are open for debate. More details can be found on the XML Beans web site.
JaxMe 2 is an open source implementation of JAXB, the specification for Java/XML binding. A Java/XML binding compiler takes as input a schema description (in most cases an XML schema, but it may be a DTD, a RelaxNG schema, a Java class inspected via reflection, or a database schema). The output is a set of Java classes:

LDAPd has released an interim alpha bug fix release, 0.71a before major architectural changes to emerge in the new LDAPd Server code named 'Eve'. LDAPd is a standalone and embeddable Avalon based LDAPv3 server leveraging several Apache software packages. LDAPd employs a Staged Event Driven Architecture and will eventually have support for LDAP Java stored procedures, and triggers along with a server side JNDI LDAP provider. The server side JNDI LDAP provider enables easy integration into the process space of host applications and will serve as the data access API for server side code in stored procedures and triggers. LDAPd is currently preparing its proposal for the Apache Incubator in the hopes of adding to the suite of flagship Apache protocol servers.
Please see the LDAPd Website for more details.
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.
The Apache Software Foundation is in a unique position to build a J2EE compliant platform. Our non-profit, charity status, and our relationship with Sun Microsystems, provides the Foundation with access to the J2EE TCKs, making it possible to achieve certification. In addition, our flexible and unrestrictive licensing makes it possible for a wide variety of participants to assist in the development of Apache Geronimo, and to build their own solutions upon the platform.
Apache Geronimo has been launched within the Apache Incubator. You can find more information about the Incubator at http://incubator.apache.org/.
Mailing Lists
Apache Geronimo has two mailing lists of interest:
geronimo-dev@incubator.apache.org
geronimo-cvs@incubator.apache.org
The geronimo-dev mailing list is where all the discussion occurs. The geronimo-cvs mailing list receives commit mails each time a commit is made to the incubator-geronimo CVS module.
You can subscribe to the mailing lists by sending an email to one or both of the following addresses:
