  Description     : Java Caching System

JCS is a distributed caching system written in Java. It is intended to
speed up applications by providing a means to manage cached data of
various dynamic natures. Like any caching system, JCS is most useful for
high read, low put applications. Latency times drop sharply and
bottlenecks move away from the database in an effectively cached system.


JCS is required for JOSM >= 8279.

The libcommons-jcs-java package is probably best maintained within the
Java team.
