One item for emphasis: the JRE provides the feature of adding a JAR to the classpath. The JRE does not offer direct support for WAR semantics, such as JAR files in the WEB-INF/lib directory. Tomcat would have to, for example, have a classloader that searched the WAR file in the specified order. This would be a massive effort. That's the difference between 'stuff in a JAR' and 'stuff in a WAR'.
