Build.xml now requires Tomcat 6???

[tvaughan77]

Hi,

I checked out a fresh copy of alfresco's head and tried the old "ant build-tomcat" and it barfed at the end, complaining about:

"Deployment using these scripts requires Tomcat 6."

In the build.xml, there's this block:

      <available file="${home.tomcat}/common/lib" type="dir" property="tomcat5.present" />

      <fail if="tomcat5.present" message="Deployment using these scripts requires Tomcat 6." />
‍‍‍‍‍

Is this for real?  For future reference, where should I be looking/subscribing/reading to find out about changes like this?

Yes its for real.    The 3.1 / 3D releases are (or will be) Tomcat 6.

Keep an eye on the check-in notices*. In this case:

r12663: Build is now dependent on Tomcat 6, build will fail if it can't find it. […]

(* By which I mean SVN log.)

Thanks,
