In 1999 the Apache Foundation got Tomcat, given to them by Sun. That may have been Apache's first project other than httpd.
What annoys me is that people I work with call all of the 50 or so different projects "Apache", without further specification. I'm well-versed in the Apache httpd code, I've contributed patches and I know configuration tricks and such. So when someone says "I'm having trouble with Apache" I go over to help, only to discover they're working on some Java thing.

1999 was Apache Tomcat. Maybe earlier (Score:5, Insightful)
