I'm stuck, and not sure how to proceed. MinimalTomcat really needs AuthenticatorBase to be core-clean.
It may be that this is an unrealistic requirement, and it's impossible to make any use of o.a.c.Authenticator package outside of o.a.c.core.*. That would be a shame, but, as they say, you can't fight city hall. But my reading of Craig McClanahan's posting on the subject was that I should, in theory, be able to make use of the Authenticator classes. There may be practical difficulties (like the one reported in Bug 6670), but those difficulties are flaws that are a legitimate target for fixes. Here are my etiquette questions: (1) What's the deal with "request for enhancement"? I read this as "blackhole", but I'm honestly not sure. (2) Can I change this back to being a bug? Or is that an abuse of bugzilla? (3) Is bringing up the topic in email after email until I get a response considered (a) legitimate lobbying for an important issue that affects a minority of developers and is thus overlooked, or (b) spamming.
