This bug report was merely intended as a reminder. I assumed that tomcatjss (#1031816) and resteasy3.0 were the only two issues left to resolve. I agree that we should have filed the bug report earlier. I was under the impression that all affected packages are maintained by the Java team. IMHO it doesn't make much sense to maintain a Tomcat plugin outside of it, which is by definition tightly coupled with the web server. Still, there was plenty of time and I have pointed to several possible ways to resolve this problem but there was no response.

I did not upload libcommons-dbcp-java and I was not aware of the problem.

I suggest we just drop all tomcat9 binary packages except libtomcat9-java and I fix tiles and libcommons-dbcp-java. That seems to be the easiest solution right now.
