I wanted to standardize the project.

(but frankly I don't see why they rebuild that all the time). there are some stuff regarding repackaging existing apache sources but could be very easily done with shading.
BTW again as tomcat core dev are more confident using something else why change ? The most important is to have bug fixed and new features added. Tools are companion to help the project they must not be the central point to take care. At least using maven can maybe help to increase the tomcat community to have patches.... > > Thanks > Antonio -- Olivier Lamy Talend: http://coders.talend.com http://twitter.com/olamy | http://linkedin.com/in/olamy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
