There are several reasons why depending on the binary releases of those projects is not ideal. These include: - potential conflicts if a web application ships with the same JAR - a large JAR where Tomcat only depends on a small fraction There are various approaches taken to dealing with this. One of those approaches is to svn copy the classes to the Tomcat source tree, modify them (always with a package rename, sometimes with additional changes) and then keep them in sync with the original via regular svn merges. This file keeps track of these copies to assist committers in keeping them up to date. BCEL org.apache.tomcat.util.bcel is copied from: /commons/proper/bcel/trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/bcel6 DBCP org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp2 is copied from: /commons/proper/dbcp/trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/dbcp2 and /commons/proper/dbcp/trunk/src/main/resources/org/apache/commons/dbcp2 org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.pool2 is copied from: /commons/proper/pool/trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/pool2 FileUpload org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload is copied from: /commons/proper/fileupload/trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/fileupload Note: Tomcat's copy of fileupload also includes classes copied manually (rather than svn copied) from Commons IO. Codec org.apache.tomcat.util.codec is copied from: /commons/proper/codec/trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/codec/ Note: Only classes required for Base64 encoding/decoding. The rest are removed.
