| [eclipse-pmc] Migrating Help/UA to Jetty Http Service |
Up until now, the platform has been embedding an older version of Tomcat and using it to serve the Help / UA component. In 3.3, there's been an effort to move the Help infrastructure to instead run under the Jetty based implementation of the OSGi Http Service. That work is now tested and ready and we're asking for approval to go ahead and have the various components added to the Platform. Bugs needing approval: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=175567 - Add JSP Support bundles to Equinox Feature https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=176989 - Add Jetty and JSP Support bundles to Platform Feature Related: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=138390 - [Help] reconsider Tomcat https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=98371 - [Help] Upgrade to Tomcat 5.x -- API: In terms of API, there should be no impact as we are changing an internal detail of how JSPs and web content are served. At this point we are adding new bundles and not taking anything away. Once Jetty is in place (and dependign on timing) we can look at removing a few plugins: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=173692 - Remove Tomcat from the builds https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=173746 - Remove org.eclipse.equinox.servlet.api Thanks. -Simon
