Lots, especially performance. There are some configuration differences between the two, so read the docs carefully. Consult the changelog and FAQ for details. > Perhaps I'd be smarter to use 5.0.x until > 5.5.x is further along? I'd go with 5.5 - the newer level gets more attention from the developers and has definite performance advantages. > 2. Are 5.5.12 and 5.0.28 both fairly stable and robust? Yes. > 3. Do I need to download/install all of the different > "bundles" for each version No, just download what you need. Look here: http://apache.intissite.com/tomcat/tomcat-5/v5.5.12/README.html I posted a more detailed description of the download packages a few days ago. Try: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-user&r=1&w=2 to browse the mailing list archive. > Do I need JDK 1.4 Compatibility if I develop primarily > in J2SE 1.5? The key issue is "primarily" vs. "only". If you develop with 1.5 you run the risk of not being able to execute on a 1.4 system if you have written code that depends on 1.5 features. You only need the compatibility package for Tomcat installations that are actually running on 1.4. > For that matter is it okay to use J2SE 1.5 > with Tomcat or does Tomcat only support 1.4? Tomcat is built with 1.4, but runs happily on either 1.4 or 1.5. > 4. Is Sysdeo still the plugin of choice to use for Servlet > development in Eclipse? Is Lomboz still the plugin of choice > to use for JSP development in Eclipse? Got me. I'm a command line person. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
