trunk: The current bleeding edge work, not released yet, pretty much experimental branches - different releases still being worked on. More stable than trunk, but may have new, untested features tags - the frozen releases at specific versions. If you look at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/connectors/trunk/ for instance you'll see the bleeding edge/experimental/unreleased stuff. If I'm reading the dir structure correctly, the latest release version of jk would be at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/connectors/tags/jk1.2.x/JK_1_2_28/ . Unfortunately, the doc you read regarding using svn to checkout the connectors project appears to be out of date as the directory structure there doesn't match the current state of the svn repository. --David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
