Re: Using InstallAnywhere for Tomcat installer

+1 from me. Having a cross-platform and consistent installer would be good for tomcat. My only concern - I hope the 'one licence' would cover all versions of tomcat and more than one release manager ( and maybe it can be assigned to Mr. Gump and automated ). Costin On Tue, 23 Apr 2002, Remy
