Tomcat 6.0 requires JRE 5.0 issue
Hi, does anyone know what the 'official' Apache explanation is for the contradictory information in Tomcat 6 README and RELEASE-NOTES: When you open http://apache.crihan.fr/dist/tomcat/tomcat-6/v6.0.20/README.html , you get this message: Tomcat 6.0 requires JRE 5.0. Read the RELEASE-NOTES and the RUNNING.txt file in the distribution for more details. If you open RELEASE-NOTES you will see=== Dependency Changes: === Tomcat 6.0 is designed to run on JSE 5.0 and later From the Release Notes I gather that I can use Java 6 (which is what a lot of developers do, so I know it works). But, what does “Tomcat 6.0 requires JRE 5.0” imply? That Tomcat 6 will only be supported with Java 5, but one can run it on Java 6 at their own risk? I mean, if I have a Tomcat problem while running Java 6, will my bug be considered for fixing? Should the warning be removed from the site? If yes, how do we make that happen? My company has a policy to deploy only officially supported platforms, and I can’t move to Java 6 with Tomcat while “Tomcat 6.0 requires JRE 5.0” is there.

Can you tell us which company that is, so that we make sure we never apply for a job there ? Considering that Tomcat is free software, made by volunteers, and supported by volunteers on an ad-hoc basis, I an afraid that your company then should probably not deploy any Tomcat version at all. Which would be a pity, but then hey, suppliers of officially supported software have to live also. Sorry for this, I am reacting to the tone of your question in general. I would imagine that anyone with a modicum of knowledge of Java would assume that requires Java 1.5 actually means .. or later. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
