All,
This page is ... seriously out of date and probably need editing to
make it useful.
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/appdev/installation.html
First, it implies that a JDK is required to install Tomcat. Not really
/Tomcat/ per se, since this is the "how to develop applications on
Tomcat" section of the user's guide, but it still seems like the JDK
is a prerequisite for Tomcat itself, rather than a prerequisite for
writing your own applications.
Also, it's false: you can develop and deploy a Tomcat application
without a JDK, as long as you don't need to compile your own .java
files (e.g. pure-JSP is possible).
Second, it mentions CVS as a revision-control system.
ASF has moved one and a half times (some now use git) since using CVS.
Should we really have to tell programmers they need RCS's anymore?
I wouldn't be against removing that entirely. There must be better
on-line guides we could link to.
Finally, it's not even linked-to from the top-level documentation. I'm
not even sure how to get to the /appdev/ folder in the documentation.
There is a link in webapps/docs/index.html
While we are at it: should
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/developers.html exist anymore,
either? It's out of sync with http://tomcat.apache.org/whoweare.html
and has been for a very long time.
I'm never a fan of duplication. +1 to removal.
Mark
