The three jars in the compat download are jmx, xercesImpl, and xml-apis. The 5.0.x Tomcat releases include all of these; they were left out of 5.5.x since Sun now releases them in the 1.5 JRE, and having duplicates in the Tomcat libraries might cause problems and would create an unnecessarily larger download for 1.5 users. Note that the 5.5.x branch does not utilize any 1.5 JRE or language features, and the newly included Java compiler - which is why you only need a JRE, not a JDK - can't handle 1.5 source (but it sure is fast). > I'm not sure if there are any other improvements over 5.0.x series, > other than that. As I said before - performance.
