We had a number of discussions and aparently a vote - and the decision was to try to use ant as the 'default' way to launch tomcat5.
We already embed ant to compile jsps ( <javac> task ). The idea is to replace all the .bat and .sh scripts and options with a build.xml ( probably named launch.xml ), with <path> and all the nice things. There are many benfits from this aproach - reusing existing and well-tested code, a familiar ( and well-known ) syntax, a lot more flexibility. In additions starting/stoping and controling tomcat from ant will be easier ( and very well supported) It is possible we'll run into some problems and may need to add few hooks - and I hope we'll get some support and help. Patrick Luby is working on this - I'll try to help him where I can. Costin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
