Yes you are right Resin/Tomcat is not required as a whole, but you do require it for jsp pages, As per this discussion. My point is that I can provide the means for people to use ASP.NET as there application server of choice an alternative to jsp or java if you will. So if your application server of choice happens to be php/apache asp.net/IIS or even xsp/apache "mono's ASP.NET". Then running Tomcat along side would be bloat.

In summary, I can provide ASP.NET support right now and possible PHP support in the future. I'm willing to provide this as a tar package for the benefit of the Nutch community. It would however make it easier for me to maintain this if we were to add it as a contrib module to cvs since I'll have to make some build scripts that work off of the existing src to convert built jars to .net assemblies .
