The Jakarta Commons components are a group of Java components that implement common functionality. They are a great place to start looking when you need a utility function that you know a million other people must have written before, and you’d really like to not re-write it.

A few examples of the ones that are pretty popular are:

• Collections—This is a set of many common/useful collection classes that are not included in the JDK
• Lang—Contains a lot of classes for extending the Core Java Library. This includes things like utilites for HTML escaping a string, or creating a mutable integer object.
• Logging—Contains a wrapper around most of the common logging models

But there are tons more dealing with topics from Database access to parsing XML configuration files to uploading files via HTTP.

In addition to the released projects there is also a sandbox area where more experimental components live.
