Hi!

In Tomcat 8 the default list of jars to skip is provided to
StandardJarScanFilter by the following system property:

> "tomcat.util.scan.StandardJarScanFilter.jarsToSkip"

It differs from the property used by Tomcat 7:

> "tomcat.util.scan.DefaultJarScanner.jarsToSkip"

I find this inconvenient. I propose to change it back to the name used
by Tomcat 7, because it is the same feature.

Note that the following properties have been removed:

> "org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.jarsToSkip"
> "org.apache.catalina.startup.TldConfig.jarsToSkip"

They are superseded by <JarScanFilter> element that is present in the
default conf/context.xml file.


BTW, the following places need to be updated:
> http://tomcat.apache.org/migration-8.html
Does not mention this change in property name and removal of two properties.

> http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/systemprops.html#JAR_Scanning
Still documents the old properties.

> StandardJarScanFilter() constructor
It parses the same property value three times. A remnant from old configuration.

Best regards,
Konstantin Kolinko
