Hi, As some of you may have noticed, Tomcat 4 is starting to depend on some modules from the J-T-C repository. The problem is that it creates in some cases some circular dependencies for some build options. The number of the dependencies is also expected to go up in the future, including: JK, the new Java HTTP/1.1 connector, the util package, and the webapp connector.
There are 3 solutions that we can use: - Duplicate the code. Given the amount of code, I'm -1 with that solution. - Integrate building these components into the Tomcat 4 build process. That's probably the most elegant solution, but unfortunately it's tricky to pull that off (and I tried ...). - Put the JARs for these modules in the Tomcat 4 CVS (the lib directory looks like a good candidate for this), based on stable (and tagged or branched) versions of each component. I would choose the 3rd solution, since it is simpler, while getting the job done. Remy
