Geronimo's servlet 2.5, jsp 2.1, and EL 1.0 specs were copied from tomcat6. This was done because geronimo needed them for JEE5 but the tomcat team had not made those spec jars available in a maven repo. See discussion at http://tinyurl.com/yvtj3f

Since that time there have been some concerns raised on [EMAIL PROTECTED] about ASF maintaining multiple copies of these specs, and at least one geronimo has expressed frustration about drift between the two versions.

Now thanks to Filip Hanik's efforts tomcat's JEE api jars are now available at the maven central repo. If I verify that that these don't break TCK then are there any concerns with using them in geronimo 2.0 and deleting geronimo's copy of these specs from SVN?


Best wishes,
Paul
