Re: Daemon deps
Costin, Remy can probably comment on the commons-daemon.jar dependency. However, the commons-launcher.jar dependency is required for the scripts in the bin directory.

Re: Daemon deps
Costin, You can invoke Tomcat's main() directly. commons-launcher.jar is only required for the Launcher. The Launcher is really only a substitute for the old shell scripts. Ultimately, the Launcher uses reflection to invoke Tomcat's main() method. So, commons-launcher.jar is only a dependency if you want to distribute the catalina.[sh|bat] scripts in that are in the bin directory. If you are embedding Tomcat 5 (like Sun does with J2EE), you do not need commons-launcher.jar at all. Or, if you want to ship Tomcat with your own customized scripts (like Sun does with JWSDP), you do not need commons-launcher.jar either.

Re: Daemon deps
Costin, After my last e-mail, I realized that there is one build dependency on commons-launcher.jar in jakarta-tomcat-catalina/catalina/src/share/org/apache/catalina/startup/CatalinaLaunchFilter.java. The good news is that Tomcat's main() has no runtime dependency on this class. It only has a build dependency because of the source directory that I put it in. I will move the CatalinaLaunchFilter class to its own separate package so that it can be easily excluded from the build if you are not using the Launcher in your distribution.
