Besides, I see yours as a legitimate concern, but then please explain me why we have now Ant and Junit in the general java/lib directory
-1 for Ant (I always said that) +1 for JUnit because it _is_ required to compile Xindice
Jetty is _not_ required to compile Xindice that's why I don't like to see it included. I'm very happy with the Tomcat how-to and if I want to use a Xindice J2EE container, I don't expect to find JBoss in the CVS (but JBoss is under LGPL so it's a no brainer).
I think that Xindice developers/users are not stupid ant that they can follow an how-to to install Xindice with Jetty/Tomcat/whatever. If they can't we have to help them by providing better documentation and not by doing their homework. And it's not a question of kb.
But finally everything comes to this simple question: "what is Xindice?"
If you think that Xindice is an XML Database Server, well you're right, we need Jetty (or Tomcat, or anything else). But if you think that Xindice is an XML Database Component, we don't need Jetty.
