OK, so what do you think the end goal should look like? org.apache.tomcat/tomcat is currently described as "Binary distribution of Apache Tomcat". Currently that contains a tar.gz that works on Windows/Linux, a zip that does not work on Linux (this is why I assume they were mean to be platform-specific), and no way (out of the box) to run it as a Windows service. So here are my ideas: 1. Split org.apache.tomcat/tomcat in two, with a Windows and a Linux classifier. Ie: 1.1. tomcat-11.0.0-M4-linux.tar.gz 1.1.1. contains no bat files 1.2. tomcat-11.0.0-M4-windows.zip 1.2.1. contains no sh files 1.2.2. contains tomcat10.exe, tomcat10w.exe, service.bat 2. From all platform-specific stuff (bat, sh, exe) from org.apache.tomcat/tomcat. 2.1. Create two new platform-specific artefacts that depend on org.apache.tomcat/tomcat, and contain the required bat, sh, etc. 3. Just put everything in one tar.gz. I'm pretty sure Windows will be able to deal with UNIX line endings and permissions. 4. Add the service.bat to org.apache.tomcat/tomcat. 4.1. This it the only option that does not break compatibility for anyone already using this artefact. Personally I'd go with 4., as preserving backwards compatibility is important, and consider 1. or 2. for tomcat 12/13. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
