My Fellow Code Monkeys,
You may have noticed I recommended for a push to change the build to a Maven
2 structure. Before starting a Mavenization discussion thread, I wanted to
investigate the entire build process. My first day here, I noticed that we
are downloading DBCP source files and compiling them with the Tomcat build.
In my humble opinion, I think it would be nice to just include a reference
to a working version of the DBCP as a Maven dependency.
we are not only downloading the source files, we are refactoring them
before compilation as well.
we are changing the package name to org.apache.tomcat.dbcp so that
webapps that include commons-dbcp don't cause problems
As I am still
getting acquainted here, I have tried to refrain from rocking the boat, but,
why do we tie ourselves to a build process of another completely separate
and JDK-dependent project? Tomcat and DBCP should be built separately, and
Tomcat should probably use the pre-built, fully-tested DBCP jar file. If I
am missing something, please forgive and educate this poor Tomcat Newbie.
I hereby re-announce my willingness to volunteer efforts towards the the
true Mavenization of the Tomcat build.
Should we take a vote on this? As a proof-of-concept, may I start a
Maven2-managed SVN branch somehow?
do a poll, but in a separate thread, so that people are clear on what
you are asking them.
Filip
Sincerely,

It's an error: the build is intended to work with Java 1.5 and later,
including Java 1.6, but it doesn't right now. It's our fault and
we're working on fixing it. Sorry about that ;)
It's impossible to predict if it will work with newer versions. It's
supposed to, but Sun likes to break the JDBC interfaces on each major
upgrade :(
