We make binary versions of our code for the convenience of our
users. In general, binaries are meant for developers who want to use
the Servlet and JavaServer Pages technologies (versus those who want to
"hack" the technologies in order to integrate them into other products).
Depending on what kind of user you are, you'll want to use a
particular type of build. We divide our available binaries into the
following categories:
- Release Builds
- Milestone Builds
- Nightly Builds
- Demo Builds
Release Builds are those that are ready for Prime Time. This
build is "as good as it gets!"
Milestone Builds are those that are somewhat stable but not
crystal-clean. We have some confidence in them, but they are buggy and
should only be used by advanced users who want to explore future product
direction or take advantage of new features. For developers, these
builds serve as a mechanism to track progress towards a release.
Nightly Builds are those that are very unstable
(a.k.a. dynamite!). We have no confidence in them. They are for
developers who are helping to develop the technology and want "the
latest bits." Use at your own risk!
Demo Builds are useful for showing demonstrations of our
products. For example, we packaged a sample Velocity application with a minimal distribution
of Tomcat 3.x and 4.x.

Using a mirror
We recommend you use a mirror to download our release
builds, but you must verify the integrity of
the downloaded files using signatures downloaded from our main distribution directories. Not all our
builds are available through mirrors yet.
You are currently using [preferred]. If you
encounter a problem with this mirror, please select another
mirror. If all mirrors are failing, there are backup
mirrors (at the end of the mirrors list) that should be
available.
Main distribution site
This is where you can find the builds that are not
available through mirrors or download the signatures, keys and
hashes to verify the integrity of your files.
