[Tomcat 4.1] Proposed Slight Binary Distribution Rearrangement
I'd like to propose a small change in the binary distribution layout for
the next version of Tomcat (4.1). It's probably not a good idea to
introduce this in a 4.0.1 maintenance update, though.
Currently, the "Shared" class loader is set up based on unpacked classes
in the "$CATALINA_HOME/classes" directory plus JAR files in the
"$CATALINA_HOME/lib" directory. I would like to suggest that we change
this to "$CATALINA_HOME/shared/classes" and "$CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib"
instead, to have the directory names be more consistent with the class
loader names.
Anybody have any comments or thoughts on this?

+1 Sounds like a good idea

+1, if 4.1 happens in the near future. Otherwise, it's a small change, and
it would probably avoid some confusion, so we should roll it back sooner.

There is already a common/lib in TC4.0

There is already a "common" directory, whose "common/classes" and
"common/lib" subdirectories are added to the "Common" class loader. In
fact, it is *this* pattern that I want "shared" to match :-).

How about naming it "common" instead of "shared", to match Tomcat 3.3?
