Build our own tomcat.

• Key: GERONIMO-4685
• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Resolution: Fixed
• Priority: Major
• Assignee: Kevan Miller
• Reporter: David Jencks
• Component/s: buildsystem, Tomcat
• Affects Version/s: 2.2
• Fix Version/s: 2.2

Description

We don't have the patches used to build the tomcat version we distribute, at least I can't interpret diffs of diffs.

Build an archetype that sets up a maven multimodule project to build tomcat.
Use a bash script to svn copy tomcat source into this structure
commit
apply patches
commit
build under our own groupId.

Work started in sandbox djencks/tomcat-archetype.

Note that tomcat jars distributed by tomcat have circular dependencies. So, combine catalina and coyote jars. Split out util for now.

Comments

We also need to upgrade to Tomcat 6.0.20, which includes 5 new security fixes.

Both I and Kevan have succeeded in building tomcats using the archetype and scripts.
