From what I have seen and heard that relationship ended some time ago. I
do not believe any Sun peeps are committing to apache/jakarta projects.
From poking around glassfish-servlet-api seems to be based on jakarta
tomcat sources, which is basically Tomcat 4.x(maybe 5.0.x, surely not
5.5.x).

Since Tomcat as of 4.x was the official reference implementation of
servlet 2.3/jsp 1.2 api's. But not clear if that's the case for 5.0 or
5.x 2.4/2.0, and surely not with 6.x 2.5/2.1.

Seems there were some differences there amongst developers, and it has
been pretty much completely severed. I also noticed in glassfish some
sun-commons stuff, so not sure if they are duplicating that as well.

No clue where all this is going, aside from having multiple
implementations for allot of things. But surely seems as if there has
been a fork.
