[VOTE] Tomcat 5.5.7 Stability

Hi,
Tomcat 5.5.7 was released a week ago, and now it's time for a stability vote ;)
 I have yet to see TCK results, but this has been a crazy month for everyone it
seems...

[ ] Alpha: leave it as-is, numerous bugs, etc.
[ ] Beta: good quality release, at least one issue preventing stable vote
[ ] Stable: solid, no major issues (minor issues possible)

Thanks for voting,
Yoav

Finally got a chance to run all the tests.
It's snowing after all, and everything runs slower :).

You can and have fixed CLASSPATH in the past.

Use of the JRE's lib/ext or lib/endorsed is different -- and not 
reasonably solvable, though.

Well, JARs in system extensions is an equally common and very similar 
issue, from what I've seen (where the user has an old servlet.jar in the 
booclasspath, for example). We can't fix that one.

I'm going to abstain from voting since I am unable to adequately test. But I 
did find one item which could be a PITA for the folks on tomcat-user.

In setclasspath.sh - the CLASSPATH isn't always overridden. If the user tries 
to start tomcat with an existing CLASSPATH  - that is appended to the 
bootstrap classpath. You can only guess that wacky errors I saw after startup 
with my legacy 3+ year old CLASSPATH.

I committed the change to setclasspath.sh to fix this.

While this issue is definitely not a blocker, it might cause a lot of 
frustration for the many users who keep their CLASSPATH enironment variable set.

So far it seems ok to me. I agree it would be good to check the TCK.

The most significant issue addressed is 26135, but technically this is 
not our bug (and workarounds exist for affected web applications). I 
have yet to test to see if the patch actually does something ;)
