Commons sounds good to me. For the sake of completeness, Brian Demers suggested Creadur on users@infra . Commons sounds good to me, just like Creadur. I would slightly incline towards Commons, since - as you mentioned - the audience is primarily Apache projects, but not exclusively. How would this contribution proceeed? One way would be for Tomcat to contribute the current implementation and then I could refactor that into a reusable component and submit the Maven plugin as well.
