After JSR053 was formed and dependencies were added to the Servlet API from
the JSP API, it became clear that this was a bad thing. It was ok to have
the JSP API rely on the Servlet API, but not the other way around. The
reason for this is because many people choose to use the Servlet API without
wanting anything to do with JSP.
As part of this realization, the next versions of JSP and the Servlet API
were defined as separate JSR's in the JCP.
http://jcp.org/jsr/detail/152.jsp
http://jcp.org/jsr/detail/154.jsp
A vote was cast on the tomcat-dev list that suggested a proposal for Tomcat
5.0. It was unclear to myself and others that this also included combining
the CVS repositories for the Servlet API and the JSP API and disrespecting
the fact that there are two separate JSR's.
Therefore, I'm asking for another vote to split the CVS repositories to
represent the split JSR's and adapt the build system of the JSP repository
to have a dependency on the Servlet repository, but not the other way
around. It is ok to also have the JSP build system generate a single .jar
file with both the Servlet api and JSP api included.
