Tomcat 5 It sure would be nice to have a binary version of Tomcat 5. I tried building it this morning, and the process is still going - you have to download about 5 different libraries (so far) just to get it to build! I find this is typical with Jakarta project. Hopefully there will be one soon. I'll try to document the process so others don't have to experience my pain.

Later: Lance provides a link to the nightly build - exactly what I was looking for!

1 Hour Later: Tomcat 5 throws all kinds of errors when starting and doesn't load jsp-examples or servlet-examples correctly. For error details, check out my posting to the tomcat-dev mailing list. Posted in General at Nov 23 2002, 11:34:35 AM MST 3 Comments

Well, I downloaded the nightly build, so its all "ready to go". You've already seen the problems I'm having ;-)

That's what I was looking for - thanks Lance!

Hey Matt, You might also find some information at the Gump site (http://jakarta.apache.org/gump/) useful, particularly the info pertaining to Tomcat 5 (http://cvs.apache.org/builds/gump/latest/jakarta-tomcat-5.html). Gump also allows you to visualize all of the crazy interdependencies going on in the Jakarta world... Take care, --Matt
