tomcat-util.jar

Hi,

The tomcat-util.jar has a subset of the o.a.t.util sub-packages, namely
'res' and 'scan'.  All of the rest of the util package is in
tomcat-coyote.jar.

The tomcat-api.jar has only 4 classes.

Is there a reason for this separation, or could/should it be reorganised?

Yes. It is to do with dependencies. Some folks re-use some components
(e.g. Jasper) and we try to ensure they only have to use the JARs they
need. The pom files should help explain this.
