Re: [jetty-users] Serving JSPs from Jetty - What am I missing

[Jesse McConnell <jesse.mcconnell@xxxxxxxxx>]

ah yes ok..

the classes in those 'gaggle' of jars are in maven central...the
artifacts that your seeing in our distribution are merely a
decomposition of the existing (in maven central) jars down into a few
additional jars because that is the way osgi wants to do it...

I'll assign that issue to myself and see if I can think of a way to
clean that up a bit better.

getting bug 283745 handled someday would make all this pain go
away...but I wouldn't hold your breath.

cheers,
jesse
