[Juraj Húska (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RFPL-2495?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12731219#comment-12731219 ] 

Juraj Húska commented on RFPL-2495:
-----------------------------------

I did some investigations.

According to [this|http://tomcat.10.n6.nabble.com/Publishing-zips-to-the-maven-repo-td2256154.html] thread it seams that Tomcat will not publish zip distributions in the near future. 

It is one year old thread, and the one of the reason of rejecting it is that it is only for Open EJB project, that is why they let this on Open EJB.

It will be maybe worth to start this discussion again in a proper place and let them know that bunch of JBoss projects would appreciate this as well. Let me know I can start this initiative.

# Contact Open EJB team, and get information whether they like this initiative
# Gather feedback from JBoss community projects, who actually would appreciate this.
# Start the discussion on the proper place

> Some versions of Tomcat 7 are published in Maven repository. Investigate if it would be useful to rewrite tomcat profiles in qa-parent POM to download Tomcat zip (like JBoss AS 7 does it).
