I thank you for your opinion. I'm sorry if people feel alienated as that
isn't my intention.

Yea, luckily though Sun was smart enough to hire Craig. :-)

Of course not. That is why I'm suggesting to move away from it for the
future and opening the discussion of that now. Would you rather that we
continue to follow down this path of split trees forever? Would you rather
that all of our users are consistently confused?

I have learned long and hard over the years that you just can't please
everyone. It is a sad thing indeed.
It is amazing to me how you guys can just sit back and actually think that
what Costin is doing to the overall project and the users is a good thing!
:-(
So, given that no one else has an opinion about things until someone like me
brings it up, I guess I'm always made out to be the bad guy. I can live with
that simply because a year from now, we will have an even better product and
even better project and this whole silly miff won't even matter to the
people who are most interested in this software...the users.
p.s. One thing that you are all not remembering or even realize is that
Catalina was originally going to be JServ 2.0. If Sun had never given us the
source code to Tomcat, then you would have been using Catalina anyway.
thanks,
