FYI - progress on the 5.0.28 changes:

- The Sun Developer Tools group would like to include into this release several bug fixes in the Jasper area, that are currently available in the trunk (5.1.x codebase), and that affect NetBeans 4.0 functionality, such as JSP debugging or JSP editor.
Thanks to Jan Luehe, these fixes are now integrated to the TOMCAT_5_0 branch. See also the release notes for the list of issues ported from trunk.
My coworkers at Sun are investigating the possible approaches to make the same distribution of Tomcat work on both JDK 1.4 and 1.5, including Costin's idea. If you have any additional thoughts or suggestions in this area, please post them.
- The goal of 5.0.28 would be to support the upcoming JDK 1.5 release (now called JDK 5.0) out of the box, so no post-install setup steps are necessary to run on JDK 5.0. Note that in Tomcat 5.0.27, it is necessary to manually remove file common/endorsed/xml-apis.jar to make Tomcat work with JDK 5.0, see also bug report 29579 or Tomcat release notes. This not only degrades the initial experience on 1.5, but also poses problems in the multiuser scenario, when some of the users who use a shared Tomcat installation run JDK 1.4.x, and others run 1.5. (Implementation-wise, this could be done e.g. by ignoring xml-apis.jar in the classloader, when running on JDK 5.0, but there may be other solutions available.)
Thanks Petr
