Right now the recent version is 1.0.3 not 1.0.2. It is likely, that in a
few days it'll be 1.0.4. Did you mean 1.0.3?



commons-daemon-1.0.3 (unix binary files) was not able to launch tomcat with
commons-daemon-1.0.2.jar (unable to register native methods error). It only
worked with commons-daemon-1.0.2 unix binary files which is not a big
surprise, but the point is that the head versions of both projects are
incompatible out of the box.


The projects are independent. They do not do common releases and they 
shouldn't. Tomcat is a consumer of commons-daemon, so it uses whichever 
version is appropriate at the moment of a Tomcat realease. If you run 
into a problem and you think you do need to do an update of 
commons-daemon alone, you would likely need to update the native parts 
and the Java parts of commons-daemon.



Dependencies and optional software bundled with Tomcat are usually updated
with regular Tomcat releases. In this case I expect 6.0.30 is not too far
away (couple of weeks maybe) and will contain daemon 1.0.3 or likely even
1.0.4 then.

The change for daemon 1.0.3 was done in August already, but not yet
released. See:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revisionrevision=989024



Good thanks

I guess it is not possible to have something like commons-daemon.1.0.3.jar
in the bin folder and then ln -s to commons-daemon.jar because of Windows
support? Or is the version of the jar file written somewhere in the bin
archive. I tried to grep it with no success.


As usual the Manifest inside the jar (META-INF/MANIFEST.MF) contains the 
info:


...
Implementation-Title: Commons Daemon
Implementation-Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
Implementation-Vendor-Id: org.apache
Implementation-Version: 1.0.2
Specification-Title: Commons Daemon
Specification-Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
Specification-Version: 1.0.2
...

and the directory META-INF/maven contains the info in Maven format.

There is not commons-daemon.jar distributed in the Tomcat source 
download. It is only contained in the binary downloads.

So since the common-daemons-1.0.2 is no more distributed and the jar
distributed in tomcat-6.0.29 seems to be in version 2, do you think it would
be a good idea to to update tomcat6.0.29-src.tar.gz with the
common-daemons-1.0.3.jar? Actually almost nobody will ever compile
common-daemons-1.0,2 again since the archive is no more available.


All old versions are still available at archive.apache.org/dist. No ASF 
distributed software version ever goes away :)

Oh yeah my bad, but it's quite the same problem...

You reassure me :P. I forgot that apache had an archive repo.
