It really is real
The author copies of my book, Professional XML Development with Apache Tools arrived today. I hadn't actually seen the finished product, so having a few copies come out of the box makes the whole experience seem more concrete. I find these connection points to the finished product really help finish the process of creation. When I worked at Apple, it was walking into Fry's Electronics and seeing MessagePad 2000 boxes on the shelf. With ASF software it's been walking into consulting clients and seeing the Xerces jar files or other ASF jars in the classpath and the product source code. Building something that people actually use is important for me.
So any way, if you are interested in the various XML related Apache projects, the book is a survey of what the projects including examples of their use.

was IMing Ted: "there's a big box here..." Soon as I opened the mailbox and spied the return address scrawled in pen on the cardboard, I knew what this package was. Precious cargo, long awaited. Walking back up the hill...

You are part of the Apache Foundation which works on their XML tools? Cool..we are quite indebted to you people.
We once required XML in a big way for a project, and then Xerces-C++ and Xalan-C++ formed the heart of our app. It is much better than libxml that ships default with Linux. And all that under an open license! You people are doing great work..Hope you come up with good implementations of XQuery too.
