Apache Commons Daemon Version 1.0.15 Release Notes INTRODUCTION: Apache Commons Daemon is a set of utilities and Java support classes for running Java applications as server processes. Commonly known as 'daemon' processes in Unix terminology (hence the name), on Windows they are called 'services'. This document contains the release notes for this version of the Apache Commons Daemon package, and highlights changes since the previous version. The current release adds new features and bug fixes, and is being done now to follow the release early/release often mentality.
