Disk space is cheap...I saw you whine about this on the turbine-dev
list...what is your real problem with having the files on your disk again?
Me personally, I have about 50 projects checked out from all over the place
sitting in one directory. Works great.

Tomcat 4.0b5 is buggy and there is nothing we can do about it other than
tell you to use a newer version.

Of course Turbine will work with it. Turbine uses *nothing* in the Servlet
API other than 2.1 methods and nothing special at all.

No it doesn't.

Turbine's build process requires you to install Ant. That is it.
Tomcat's build process is slightly harder because you have to download a few
.jar files and properly edit a build.properties file, but it is MUCH easier
than it used to be. Also, complaining about Tomcat here doesn't do you any
good.

Turbine has no special requirements on a servlet container.

You can download 2.1 and use that. It is a released version. Updates between
2.1 and 2.1.x will be backwards compatible according to this document:
