Open-source Java projects have considerable momentum now, and I think projects will benefit in a big way if there is "one ring that will bind them all". I think projects like WebWork (MVC), Hibernate (persistence), Spring (IOC) and Gridsphere (portal) can play an important role in laying the groundwork for a common platform for open-source projects to be built on.

I guess I'm working on doing something like that now, consolidating and integrating these projects into a common application infrastructure on which to develop and deploy web applications.
