Ok...I can do #1, but we have a problem.

I could get the servlet-examples-5.5.12.war and jsp-examples-5.5.12.war to the ibiblio repo...but what happens is, since we have no deployment plan with them, the default URL will become:

http://localhost:8080/servlet-examples-5.5.12/

and

http://localhost:8080/jsp-examples-5.5.12/

Well, no exactly if you supply geronimo-web.xml in both. I'm pretty sure it won't make any harm to anyone who would like to use them, does it?

Yes. If someone uses them outside of Geronimo, this causes a problem. i.e. If someone writes their own embedded Tomcat in some other product, they will have this as an issue. The "fix" for this is to include a Tomcat context.xml with the wars that sets up the proper context-root.

Now...we do have a solution.

We can place their jars in our repo, so we own those versions (i.e. servlet-examples-geroniomo-1.0.war) and then they clearly won't affect other Tomcat users.

Or...just add the source to our repo and roll our own. These are just examples, so I don't see any problem with this.
