Build-only Dependencies
@@ -44,15 +44,12 @@ Current Runtime Dependencies
* libjetty9-java
For /usr/share/java/jetty9-*.jar.
In non-Debian builds we bundle the jars; it's removed in the Debian source package.
For some Debian and Ubuntu releases, these seem to be much older than what we're bundling,
which is 8.1.21, but there's no particular version that we need.
Jetty 8 is now EOL and we plan to migrate to Jetty 9.2 in late 2017.
Jetty 8 is NOT in Debian stretch.
Jetty 9 is NOT in Debian wheezy and is only in jessie backports and stretch.
Jetty 9.2.x is in recent Ubuntu and Debian.
Jetty 9 ticket is https://trac.i2p2.de/ticket/1512
Updating Jetty may break external plugins. Extensive testing is required.
Note that the libjetty9-java dependency brings in libservlet3.0-java which we require.
* libtomcat8-java
For /usr/share/java/tomcat8-*.jar.
In non-Debian builds we bundle the jars as packaged in the Jetty 9.2 binary release,
which are different than the way they are packaged for Debian.
They are removed in the Debian source package.
* glassfish-javaee
We need jstl.jar and standard.jar version 1.2.

No package or not widely available.
There is an old 1.5.9 Maven jrobin package at http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cg%3A%22org.jrobin%22
* libtomcat6-java
We currently require Tomcat 6, which is EOL and not available in newer Debian/Ubuntu releases.
We plan to migrate to Tomcat 8 in mid-to-late 2017. It's not currently clear if we can
or will update Tomcat before we update to Jetty 9, or if we must couple the two.
Newer packages are libtomcat7-java and libtomcat8-java. We will probably skip over 7 and go straight to 8.
This page is quite helpful: http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html
The Tomcat upgrade may also affect the glassfish/standard.jar/jstl.jar issue above.
See also the Java 9 ticket https://trac.i2p2.de/ticket/1870
Updating Tomcat may break external plugins, especially Bote. Extensive testing is required.
Tomcat 8 may not be available in older distributions.
Pretty sure we will have to pick 6 or 8, we can't leave it as either-or.
* libhttpclient-java
We only use a few classes from this large package.
We require 4.4 or higher which is not available in older distributions.
