Title: Difference between JBOSS 2.1 download and the bundled tomcat distribution

I ran into this too.  I've been forced to use the 2.1-beta and tomcat, and have had limited success with it.  I haven't been able to use the non-beta since it isn't available in binary, the CVS repository has a bad habit of rejecting valid anon access, and the build process is far too clumsy for me to take the time to deal with it.  (whatever the hell happened to single distribution and "configure; make; make install"?!  ant is great, but only if there's a real distribution to work with)

Subject: [JBoss-user] Difference between JBOSS 2.1 download and the bundled tomcat dist ribution

I have a question on the differences in the binary distributions that are on the JBoss site for download. The core jar files that come from the JBOSS 2.1, Tomcat, and Jetty binary distributions all have different date/time stamps. Where they built from the same source using a singular build process. I would expect that the distributions should all have the same date/time stamp for a given release for the core JAR files that compose JBOSS.

Also, the directory structure for the ZIP files seems to be radically different. Shouldn't the directory structure be similar independent of the fact that JBOSS is being used alone or integrated with Tomcat or Jetty.

Basically I just want to make sure that if I download JBoss 2.1 bundled with Tomcat that I'm getting the real 2.1 build and not some beta. Here are the files in the http://www.jboss.org/bin directory. Three of the files are described as 2.1 builds of JBoss, but only one file seems to be built off of 2.1

 jBoss-2.0_FINAL.zip     09-Feb-2001 04:05   4.2M 
 jboss-2.1.zip           09-Mar-2001 16:59   4.0M 
 jboss-tomcat-2.1-bet..> 27-Feb-2001 04:05   8.2M  Looks like an outdated beta
 jboss_jetty.zip         29-Jan-2001 09:10   7.0M  Looks older than 2.0 final
 jboss_tomcat.zip        25-Jan-2001 18:14   8.3M  Looks older than 2.0 final

The web site creates the impresession that the Jetty and Tomcat bundles are the same as the main 2.1 download and that does not seem to jive with the files that are actually posted on the site
