I don't think we can even if we wanted to. Their annotation jar is a
random collection of annotation classes from various specs:
javax/annotation/Generated.class
javax/annotation/PostConstruct.class
javax/annotation/PreDestroy.class
javax/annotation/Resource$AuthenticationType.class
javax/annotation/Resource.class
javax/annotation/Resources.class
javax/annotation/security/DeclareRoles.class
javax/annotation/security/DenyAll.class
javax/annotation/security/PermitAll.class
javax/annotation/security/RolesAllowed.class
javax/annotation/security/RunAs.class
javax/ejb/EJB.class
javax/ejb/EJBs.class
javax/persistence/PersistenceContext$PersistenceContextType.class
javax/persistence/PersistenceContext.class
javax/persistence/PersistenceContexts.class
javax/persistence/PersistenceUnit.class
javax/persistence/PersistenceUnits.class
javax/xml/ws/WebServiceRef.class
javax/xml/ws/WebServiceRefs.class
I find it very strange.

I haven't investigated the actual history but I think our
annotation api jar was implemented independently of theirs so I am
very reluctant to discard ours for theirs.

IIRC the Tomcat has some non-compliant spec jars. Specifically,
the annotations-api.jar is not correct... it has javax/persistence/
PersistenceContext$PersistenceContextType.class, but that class is
not an inner class and should be
javax.persistence.PersistenceContextType
I'm guessing there are other problems with that jar and based on
that I am concerned about the other spec jars they have. Have we
run the signature tests on these jars?
Paul, I don't follow the tomcat list, so can you mention the bad
code to them? Apache isn't allowed to ship non compliant
implementations of specs.
Thanks,

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
