I am not sure that I agree with you:
In the past, in earlier versions of Jonas there were no externals .jar
in the jonas.jar, the user was obliged to download all the
extra .jar before beginning to work with JOnAS.
We were very criticized for this , because this made
very complex the installation and the use of Jonas (for example the
location
where you can find the .jar on the web changed from time to time, we
were not aware and
our installation documentation became obsolete). I remember that you
Markus, was very critic
about the Jonas installation and you was not satisfied with your first
contacts with JOnAS.
We have decided to change this in order to make easier the installation
of Jonas.
Now you download JOnAS you set up two environement variables and you are
able
to run the sample examples. I think it is valuable for the users that
want
evaluate the product and use it rapidly.
This is the reason why we have changed our politic.

You are not obliged to have tomcat jar to compile Jonas. In the 2.3
version
you only need this jar to compile the SecurityCtxInterceptor32.java file
in objectweb/jonas/src/org/objectweb/security/tomcat/interceptor
but if you look at the Makefile you can see that this file is compiled
only if the environment variable TOMCAT_HOME is set:
ifneq ($(TOMCAT_HOME),)
CLASSES = SecurityCtxInterceptor32
endif
we may think that you only need this interceptor when you want to work
with
tomcat and in this case you have to install first tomcat.
(in the current CVS version, servlets are used for a JMX admnistration
tool
we must decide if we continue to the politic of conditional
compilation
of these files or if we decide to integrate servlet.jar in the
jonas.jar)
