RE: make jsse support optional
What do you mean by 'as long as jsse is not free'? I've never had to pay for it... to my best knowledge it _is_ free. Regards, Stefan. -Original Message- From: Guillaume Rousse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 27. febrar 2001 14:00 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: make jsse support optional I could be wrong here, as i didn't try to hack the build script, but jsse is currently mandatory for building tomcat, even if ssl support is not used thereafter. As long as jsse is not free, i think it should be rendered optional for building as well. This way, tomcat introduction would be a lot easier for strict licensing policy Linux distributions, such as Debian or Mandrake. Would this wish be acceptable for next Tomcat release ?

Free as a speech, not as a berr :-) Jsse is proprietary software. jsse sources are not open source and not GPL. Mandrake / Debian are more restrictive about that for their packages. BTW, I really hope to see a JSSE compatible alternative from the best cryptix and openssl worlds. There is many Sun's employees here, what about asking sun to release jsse in OpenSource. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Guillaume, I could be wrong here, as i didn't try to hack the build script, but jsse is currently mandatory for building tomcat, even if ssl support is not used You are right for 3.2.x - you can consider this as a bug in the build script. It's not hard to fix it - but I don't think it's that important ( since there are workarounds - like downloading the binaries ) In 3.3 it is fixed ( and one of the nightly tests is done without JSSE ). thereafter. As long as jsse is not free, i think it should be rendered optional for building as well. This way, tomcat introduction would be a lot easier for strict licensing policy Linux distributions, such as Debian or Mandrake. Would this wish be acceptable for next Tomcat release ? For the next release - absolutely. For 3.2.2 - I think it is still possible, but I wouldn't be that interested. BTW, you need JSSE to build - but you don't need to include it in the binary. ( the same way as you use the GPL gcc to build software with other licence ) Costin - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
