Yes, I meant the jar file containing the Servlets 2.2 implementation. Since
Tomcat calls it servlet.jar and Resin calls it jsdk22.jar, I got lazy and
just referred to it as the JSDK. I figured people would know what I meant. :-)

I guess not *really*. It just seems a bit weird to require the JSDK for a
standalone Java application. Since what I'm doing is for my own use, it's
not a big deal, but it would be an odd requirement to have to list if I was
giving the app to other people.
