I've tried to always commit to trunk and back-port to 1.1.x. I have had some irritation building trunk because it requires bleeding-edge versions of APR that I don't have available from Debian. It's a minor inconvenience, honestly. trunk 'configure' also does not properly support --with-java or --with-java-home like 1.1.x does. That would be helpful to fix... my configure-fu is not strong. > 2) tcnative and Java classes > > We still have Java classes in the tcnative branch.

We have had at least one recent report on the users' list where someone hand-compiled the Java sources and was then unable to use tcnative successfully (because the Java sources were out of date with respect to those in the main Tomcat sources). > Is there any use for the copies of the Java files in the tcnative 1.1.x > branch?

I'm not even sure that a tcnative release requires any .class or .jar files, as Tomcat itself contains everything necessary. I believe they are tightly-coupled enough with the rest of Tomcat that shipping a JAR file along with the tcnative library might break installations with mismatched Java code accompanying the native stuff. > Note that tcnative also contains test and examples Java classes, which > are *not* also in the TC branches. Those must be kept in tcnative (or > moved to TC). +1 to moving/adapting to Tomcat. -chris
