Subject: Re: replacing geronimo's servlet, jsp, and el specs
Date: Wed, 23 May 2007 15:30:22 -0400
To: dev@geronimo.apache.org

I'll run the signature tests on the servlet, jsp, and el spec jars.   
If I encounter any problems then I'll work with tomcat to get them  
fixed before replacing geronimo's versions.

I'll also report the problem you found with annotations-api.jar,  
thanks for pointing that out.

Best wishes,
Paul
