(In reply to comment #0) > As we move to supporting servlet 3.0 I think we should stop building the old > (non-jetty based) HttpService implementation and stop shipping it with the SDK > for 3.8. To be clear I am talking about the Equinox SDK, NOT the Eclipse SDK. We have never shipped this bundle in the Eclipse SDK. Is there any reason not to ship it in the Eclipse SDK as well as the Equinox SDK? Or, for that matter, finally moving forward and using the Eclipse-built Jetty instead of the old org.mortbay one?

Or, for that matter, finally moving forward and using the Eclipse-built > Jetty instead of the old org.mortbay one? In the move to support servlet 3.0 we are moving to jetty 8 which is Eclipse-Built. See bug309529. The desire to move to jetty 8 and servlet 3.0 is what has prompted me to ask this question. We could keep building the old http service impl and try to deal with the headaches of using two versions of the javax.servlet packages. Or we can simply move on and stop building the old stuff that, to be honest, is not really maintained by any active committers. If folks really still need to old http service impl then they can go to one of our previous releases and get the bundles. But I don't see any need to keep building this old implementation any more. For that matter I think we should stop building the old jetty5 and jetty6 based http service implementations also. No need to keep pulling in the old mortbay jetty bundles for things we no longer use or maintain. Also see bug 363105, "Stop building jetty5, jetty6 and org.mortbay.jetty.* bundles". Tom, can you please remove generate.plugin@org.eclipse.equinox.http.source=org.eclipse.equinox.http from the build.properties of the equinox.serverside.sdk feature My commit rights are still not working on that repo. regarding comment #6, I got DJ to make the change. Fixed for N20111110-2000. |
