Open Source Java includes initiatives, projects and tools including Apache's Jakarta (including Ant) and much more. There are many open source Java tools, as presented at O'Reilly's Open Source Convention (OSCON) Java track. For more, see the following:
• OSCON Java Report for a review of the sessions.
• For the sessions themselves, see OSCON Java Tutorials
In addition to OSCON coverage, ONJava.com has been dedicated to open source Java projects and tools from the beginning, including the Using Tomcat series by James Goodwill. Check it out:
