I concur that this is the normal expectation and that the Tomcat group 
should pressure the board to ease up.

If they don't I might suggest:

    * A simple Ant-based configuration tool.
          o That grabs jmx.jar from the web as part of the configuration.

I use Ant to configure Apache and Tomcat, but I must admit all 
components are bundled -- I don't assume a network connection over which 
to fetch them.

Thanks for the info.

Once I get a chance I'll check this out.

One area of immediate concern: Is jmx.jar an additional top-level jar 
that must be added to CLASSPATH or java command lines to run Tomcat?  Or 
is it automatically picked up by Bootstrap, etc, as before?  [This will 
clearly affect a number automated configurations if this has indeed 
changed.]
