You mean mx4j ? I'm not sure about having the main target be a JRE beta,
but I understand your point, it's cleaner this way. The alternative would be to have a 1.4 distro, with mx4j jars included, and detect at
runtime if it's 1.5 and skip them from the loader.
I suspect people will keep using 1.4 and 1.5 for a while, as usual there are incompatibilities - so it's better to be able to use the same tomcat with both.
Please make sure "target=1.3" is present in all javac tasks :-)

Good.

Maybe we should have admin separately, i.e.IMO, the admin webapp is better located in the special folder we're using right now. It helps with catalina_base.
jakarta-tomcat-5.5.0-admin.war (complete with META-INF/context.xml),
that users can just drop into their webapps directory? I'd rather have
that than 6 more binary distributions.
What about dropping .tar.gz distros? I realize its files are smaller than zip, but every platform has zip support and I doubt many of our users (who are mostly developers for companies or open-source afficionadoes) are on dialup connections. Alternatively (this is what JonAS has done for example) we could just have .tgz files which the Windows Winzip can handle. This saves the release manager work and reduces user confusion slightly, as they are faced with less download choices. I see the latter (user confusion) increasing when we have JRE1.4 and JRE5.0 distros.
This is a bad idea. - Windaube XP only supports .zip - tgz allows setting Unix execute flag
