Hi As Pablo Duboue already mentioned in a separate mail (which was not CC'ed to the jetty-user list), jetty-plus is enabled in Debian (version >= 6.1.24-3). Currently both Debian and Ubuntu are currently scheduled to ship 6.1.24-5 with their next stable release (called Squeeze and Maverick Meerkat respectively). I looked the changes and it looks like the reason was that we had not packaged geronimo-jta-1.0.1b-spec at the time[1]. This means you cannot enabled it in the version you have (because it is not built/shipped in that version) unless you rebuilt it from source. The actual change required in jetty (which also enables jetty-annotations) can be acquired by checking out the jetty packaging from svn.debian.org[2] and running the command listed in [3] in the newly downloaded directory. You can file a bug in Ubuntu (against jetty) for getting this change backported to Karmic (9.10) or/and Lucid (10.04). I cannot promise you they will do it though. Also, they will not attempt to enable jetty-annotations unless you explicitly request that as well - the Stable Release Team will reject "unrelated" changes to a package. ~Niels [1] That is to say, Debian did not have the package at that time. Ubuntu takes most of its Java packages from Debian without changes; this makes a lot of things easier for us in both distributions in our development cycles. Disclaimer: geronimo-jta-1.0.1b-spec has been changed when it was uploaded to Debian. I do not know if these changes affects whether jetty-plus can be built.
