Tomcat was the "codename" used by Sun for the JS(W)DK since servlet
version 1.0, and, instead re-doing a 1.0 version, we just kept the old
number.

Cool... It's open source, help to fix it (if you can!)

So why don't you come up with a nice piece of software that enables us
to do the builds? If you don't like Ant, it's not a problem. Just FIND
AN ALTERNATIVE.

It's not a version number that will crush open source credibility. Are
E-Mails like the one I'm replying now (yours, if you didn't understand),
that are doing this.
Coming out on a public mailing list, and talking in this way about
Tomcat and Ant (and note, this mailing list is about JServ, so you're
even off-topic), surely will not help to improve our tools.
Instead of writing E-Mails, write out some code. Until then, for me,
you're less than ZERO!

Write code, not E-Mail... What you write is not going to help the Apache
community, what WE write is. And please, show a little respect for all
those developers who spend their time coding software that YOU use.
