Re: [jetty-users] servlet-api

[Jesse McConnell <jesse.mcconnell@xxxxxxxxx>]

eclipse policy requires with distribute with _their_ signed and packed
jar file which is the fundamental issue

it is basically they same as the normal servlet-api just with signed
goop and a manifest modified for OSGI purposes..

you can just as easily use jetty but excluding the orbit coordinates
in the dependencies and use the normal javax.servlet one in maven
central as well
