I will vote -1 based soley on item 1 of the list for the reasons I've 
already explained.  I think that having ANOTHER jak-commons is a 
fundementally bad idea.  If these are truly enahancements to JavaSE, 
they are one community, and share a mailinglist...then make them one 
distribution and version them together.
