Well, thank you very much for the advice - so I want to make it clear:
Tomcat 3.3 exists and it has damn good architecture and performance. It is
also clean and maintainable.
I am going to fight for it - because I think on the long term it's going
to be the best servlet container.
I am very disapointed with the way things work on tomcat-dev, and I'll try
to stay away as much as possible - but that doesn't mean I'll stop
supporting it. It just means that I'll try to develop new modules (
implementing new features like servlet 2.3 support, or porting JMX and
JNDI support from catalina ) _outside_ tomcat. I'll also stay away from
projects where Jon and the gang are involved.
I'm doing that because I want to have more freedom and control over what
I'm doing. I don't want the PMC or Craig to decide for me if I can
implement Servlet 2.3.
But as long as there is a chance for Tomcat 3.x to _evolve_ I'll stick
around - because of the people like Nacho, Larry, Paolo and all other who
put time and code into it.
I'm not going to fork tomcat3, nor to abandon it - but for any new
features and ideas I'll use a separate workspace, where I can work
without fighting.
