--- Comment #3 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> 2011-01-18 04:41:14 EST ---
Background:

Up to 6.0.29 the Tomcat build process went through a convoluted process to
generate what was essentially ecj.jar from jdt.jar. This meant a 40MB+ download
was required to create a 1MB jar. The advantage was that the Jar was a Tomcat
jar and was uploaded as part of the upload process.

7.0.x and 6.0.30 onwards use ecj.jar directly to speed up the build process.


Issue:

As far as I can tell from Googling, the Eclipse jars have been uploaded
manually by various third parties. I'll add looking at this to my todo list but
there is no reason stopping you doing it yourself and since this is your itch I
suspect you'll get this done faster than I will. I did see from looking at the
comments in one of the poms [1] that the process appeared to have been
automated although since it is just ecj.jar then it shouldn't be too hard to do
manually.
