tomcat component releases

Hi,

bit of background... I maintain the maven-tomcat-plugin.  This plugin uses:

catalina-ant
jasper-compiler
jasper-runtime

In the interest of keeping the plugin up to date, I should probably cut 
a new version of the plugin whenever any of these components are 
modified.  Do these components have their own release cycle? or are they 
just released whenever there is a new tomcat build?

I'm guessing there are some tomcat releases where none of these 
components are modified.

cheers
Nathan

Re: tomcat component releases

thanks Tim,

the maven repo for tomcat components seems fairly out of date or 
inconsistent, some components have been 'released' to the maven repo and 
others haven't.  most components seem to be at 5.0.18, with no mention 
of 5.5.X

http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/tomcat/jars/

I can however see why the maven repo isn't kept up to date if each 
release of tomcat leads to 10 or so different components having to be 
released.

My life would be made a lot easier if components were released 
independently :)

The components are released during a tomcat upgrade. yes, it can be possible 
for one of the components to not change during a release cycle.
