Hi Mark, Another option is to use Apache Geronimo specs (and update/create missing ones - think new mail one is not yet there for ex). Advantage would be we wouldn't lose all the work around OSGi and jpms eclipse does not - and will not probably - handle (at least for the first part). It also cleans up the legal work for Tomcat as a small side bonus.
