Sorry, but this is totally different.

Jakarta is an umbrella project for all of the Java projects hosted by the
Apache group. They all have the same license, the same development model,
the same silly voting process etc. Tomcat is a servlet container and just
ONE of these projects, and Struts is another.

However JBoss is an application server. It is not a site which hosts
projects, its not an umbrella project. I don't even know if it has the same
license as WW? (I don't believe it does - not that this is overly important)

My $0.02 - there is a large difference.
