[JBoss-user] Difference between JBOSS 2.1 download and the bundled tomcat dist ribution

[Bolt, D. <bo...@at...>]

I have a question on the differences in the binary distributions that are on
the JBoss site for download. The core jar files that come from the JBOSS
2.1, Tomcat, and Jetty binary distributions all have different date/time
stamps. Where they built from the same source using a singular build
process. I would expect that the distributions should all have the same
date/time stamp for a given release for the core JAR files that compose
JBOSS.

Also, the directory structure for the ZIP files seems to be radically
different. Shouldn't the directory structure be similar independent of the
fact that JBOSS is being used alone or integrated with Tomcat or Jetty.

Basically I just want to make sure that if I download JBoss 2.1 bundled with
Tomcat that I'm getting the real 2.1 build and not some beta. Here are the
files in the http://www.jboss.org/bin directory. Three of the files are
described as 2.1 builds of JBoss, but only one file seems to be built off of
2.1

 jBoss-2.0_FINAL.zip     09-Feb-2001 04:05   4.2M  
 jboss-2.1.zip           09-Mar-2001 16:59   4.0M  
 jboss-tomcat-2.1-bet..> 27-Feb-2001 04:05   8.2M  Looks like an outdated
beta
 jboss_jetty.zip         29-Jan-2001 09:10   7.0M  Looks older than 2.0
final
 jboss_tomcat.zip        25-Jan-2001 18:14   8.3M  Looks older than 2.0
final

The web site creates the impresession that the Jetty and Tomcat bundles are
the same as the main 2.1 download and that does not seem to jive with the
files that are actually posted on the site
