This is just an illusion. There are many more projects outside JDK than the ones that were merged into JDK. We have no plans to merge into JDK at the moment. We would loose a lot of release agility if we did that. Currently we release every 4-5 weeks. Imagine JDK releasing that often...

I genuinely wonder where do these questions come from? Jersey is a standalone project - it always was. It has a dedicated website, dedicated code base, dedicated issue tracker. It provides JAX-RS RI. JAX-RS is a standalone spec. It is also part of Java EE and as such Jersey is a core part of GlassFish. Jersey is also commercially available in WebLogic and Oracle GlassFish Server. However Jersey integrates with many other containers, e.g. any Servlet container (Tomcat, Jetty, ...) and natively with a few other containers too (Grizzly, JDK HttpServer, Simple HTTP Server...).

We do not have any intention to change that approach in the foreseeable future. The core Jersey team is not a large one, so we may get quieter or slower from time to time (esp. if some bigger event distracts our focus), but should not be interpreted as an indication of us loosing our agile approach to Jersey development or releases. Obviously, the more contributions we can get from the community (whether it is participating in our mailing lists or submitting patches and new features), the better for Jersey.
