After nearly two years of work, the Tapestry development team is proud to announce the next major release of the Tapestry web application framework.
Tapestry is an open-source framework for creating dynamic, robust, highly scalable web applications in Java. Tapestry complements and builds upon the standard Java Servlet API, and so it works in any servlet container or application server.
Tapestry divides a web application into a set of pages, each constructed from components. This provides a consistent structure, allowing the Tapestry framework to assume responsibility for key concerns such as URL construction and dispatch, persistent state storage on the client or on the server, user input validation, localization/internationalization, and exception reporting. Developing Tapestry applications involves creating HTML templates using plain HTML, and combining the templates with small amounts of Java code using (optional) XML descriptor files. In Tapestry, you create your application in terms of objects, and the methods and properties of those objects -- and specifically not in terms of URLs and query parameters. Tapestry brings true object oriented development to Java web applications.
Tapestry is specifically designed to make creating new components very easy, as this is a routine approach when building applications. The distribution includes over fifty components, ranging from simple output components all the way up to complex data grids and tree navigators.
Tapestry is architected to scale from tiny applications all the way up to massive applications consisting of hundreds of individual pages, developed by large, diverse teams. Tapestry easily integrates with any kind of backend, including J2EE, HiveMind and Spring.
Tapestry 4.0 represents a significant advance over Tapestry 3.0. The following are the most significant changes between the two releases:
Tapestry is released under the Apache Software Licence 2.0.
Tapestry is distributed as a combined binary/source distribution, and an additional documentation distribution. Tapestry may be downloaded from the Apache Mirrors.
The latest (and hopefully, final) release candidate for Tapestry 4.0 is now available. Tapestry is a component based web application framework that provides lots of functionality with minimal Java coding, and creates an environment that supports high levels of reuse.
This release fixes a page initialization bug.
Tapestry is provided as a combined binary/source distribution, and a separate documentation distribution.

Tomcat 5.5.12 has been voted a stable release after a testing period following the alpha distribution. There have been no code changes, so if you already have 5.5.12-alpha, you do not need to download 5.5.12 again. Thank you.
This release is the last one to be done using the CVS repository at Apache. The Tomcat team is moving to the Subversion (SVN) repository as part of the overall Apache initiative to do so. Access instructions for the SVN repository are available at Apache's repositories page. The move is expected to be complete within the next week.
This release is also likely the last one to use the Jakarta pages. As part of Tomcat's move to a top-level project (TLP) at Apache, we will be migrating our content to http://tomcat.apache.org, which is still under construction at this time. That site will have its own download pages and related information. We will keep the key jakarta URLs intact with redirection, but please keep an eye out and update your bookmarks to http://tomcat.apache.org as/when appropriate. As part of the TLP move, distribution names have changed from jakarta-tomcat-* to apache-tomcat-*, and similar minor branding changes will gradually become visible in the web site and documentation. We thank the Jakarta project for its support over the years, and we will continue collaborating on projects and issues of common interest.

The Turbine team has decided to do some actual software paleontology and do a release of the long standing Turbine 2.3.x component layer called "Stratum". This release is intended as a closure to replace all the alpha and beta versions floating around. There is no further development beyond the 1.0 version planned.
Turbine Stratum is distributed as binary including all documentation and as a source distribution. The jar itself is also available through the ibiblio Maven repository.

The Apache Jakarta Cactus Team
The RDC Taglib Project Team is pleased to announce that the RDC Taglib Project has
graduated from Taglibs-Sandbox and joined Taglibs-Proper. The RDC sources, the RDC
nightly build and the RDC website have moved accordingly; and a new RDC component
has been added to the Taglibs section of bugzilla.
The RDC 1.0 Release was cut
last week.
For many months, the Apache java repository has contained an unofficial snapshot named commons-cli-1.0 rather than the official 1.0 release. This jar has been mirrored to ibiblio and made available through Maven as commons-cli-1.0. I'd like to extend apologies to you all on behalf of the Jakarta team for this mistake. Sorry.
The existing jar has now been replaced by the official 1.0 release. (This change may take several hours to work it's way through to the mirrors.) Maven users who use commons-cli directly or indirectly may be effected by this change. It is recommended that maven users should wait 24 hours (to allow the mirrors to sync) and then delete the version of commons-cli in their local repository. They should then rebuild and retest their code. It is recommended that all who can should switch to use the official release.
There is a small risk that some code may be broken by this change. However, is no reason to suspect that the original jar has been tampered with: it is just wrongly named. For those who require it, it is available as commons-cli-20040117.000000 from ibiblio. Some users may need to update their project.xml to use this version (rather than the official release).
Please direct any questions to the user list at Jakarta Commons.

Betwixt provides a flexible way to map beans into XML - and vice versa.
Betwixt 0.7 is a feature release. A number of new strategies have been introduced to add flexibility. Improvements have been made to binding and introspection including improved support for polymophism. Improvements have been made to the dot betwixt file format including support for multiple specifications within the same file.
Betwixt 0.7 is binary compatible with 0.6 but a number of changes have been made to some semantics. It is believed that the impact of these changes should be minimal.
Download Commons Betwixt 0.7. Please remember to check the sum and verify the signature.
The 1.0 release of the Reusable Dialog
Components (RDC) Taglib is now available.
JSP 2.0 based Reusable
Dialog Components (RDC) is a framework for creating JSP taglibs that aid in rapid
development of voice and multimodal applications. Server-side generation of HTML has
proven an effective way of generating the user interface for visual Web applications
that are implemented using server-side application frameworks such as Struts. Over
time, the effort involved in such HTML generation has been reduced by the
availability of various JSP tag libraries that abstract away the minutiae of HTML
markup. The goal of the RDC project is to achieve for voice applications what JSP
tag libraries have already achieved in the world of visual Web applications.

Binaries and source distributions are available separately. The
binaries contain web archives providing documentation, examples and sample
applications; in addition to the RDC Taglib java archive and an external TLD for
quick reference.
