Probably because there isn't any documentation (beyond Javadoc) for
using EmbededTomcat. :) :) :)

Whatever documentation you can provide will be a help. I plan on
making a pass through all of it. There is still too much incorrect
information present to have a beta 2 this weekend. Perhaps next week
or weekend.
I have been tweaking ApacheConfig and the others config generators to
get them consistent and work appropriately. Hopefully this will make
updating the documentation go more smoothly. The latest changes to
ApacheConfig have been related to virtual hosts. Something I'm not expert
in. Please test what I've done when you get a chance to make sure it
works appropriately in your environments.
Also, if I could assign you a minor cleanup chore. I think we agreed
that we should ignore the users CLASSPATH when starting Tomcat. tomcat.bat
does this, but tomcat.sh still includes the users classpath (as pointed
out by Bojan Smojver). Could you update this?
Thanks,
Larry
