Apache Commons – Apache Commons Mailing Lists

Overview

Apache Commons uses shared mailing lists for all of its components. To make it easier for people to only read messages related to components they are interested in, the convention in Commons is to prefix the subject line of messages with the component's name, for example:

[EMAIL] Problem with mime message
[IO] Progress Monitor
[VFS] Public key authentication support for sftp

Questions related to the usage of Commons components should be posted to the User List.
The Developer List is for questions and discussion related to the development of Commons components.
Please do not cross-post; developers are also subscribed to the user list. Read the archives first in case your question has already been answered. If not, then subscribe to the appropriate list and post your question.

Note: please don't send patches or attachments to any of the mailing lists. Patches are best handled via the Issue Tracking system. Otherwise, please upload the file to a public server and include the URL in the mail.

Please read the Public Forum Archive Policy and Tips for email contributors as well as the Commons page On Contributing Patches
For further information on Apache mailing lists please read General mailing list information in particular the section entitled Subscribing and Unsubscribing
