The JspServlet contained in libtomcat5.5-java is compiled with Java 1.5 (class
version 49.0)
which will not run on a java 1.4 runtime which should be enough to run Jetty.
The problem is that Jetty depends on (and uses) libtomcat5.5-java. The
Tomcat source uses (among other Java5 features) generics. That is the
reason wht this class file is only for Java5 and the reason why jetty in
Debian needs Java5 too.
This differs from the download package of Jetty which runs on older
versions of Java as well.
I see two options:
1) Make it clear that a java2-runtime is not enough
2) Decouple jetty from tomcat and distribute the complete jetty package
instead.
(maybe even conflict with tomcat? Why would you want two servlet engines
on the same machine?)
Of course, the last alternative is to keep it as as, as only java1.5/1.6
and gcj are officially in Debian
anyway. If this is the case, please feel free to close this report.
