Hi folks,

Thanks for all the updates (and yes, I 'forgot' Glassfish - blush). If
you haven't looked through the list, please scan for gaps. Looking
through the projects, some of them are more active/current than others.
But all have APIs worth looking at.

I'll put this up on the wiki on the java.net project in the next day or so.

Thanks,

- Danny
