What's so painful about a ten-line build.xml target that creates a
separate JAR file with just the javax.servlet and javax.servlet.http API
classes, if that's what you need?
Sharing a CVS repository has little or nothing to do with how many
distributable outputs you create. On the other hand, having both servlet
and JSP APIs in a single JAR file is quite useful to a very large number
of existing Tomcat (and other container) users, so it should be available
also.
