Right, from Catalina's build.xml:

      <exclude name="org/apache/catalina/startup/EmbeddedManager.java"
       unless="compile.jmx"/>
      <exclude name="org/apache/catalina/startup/CatalinaManager.java"
       unless="compile.jmx"/>
      <exclude name="org/apache/naming/NamingService.java"
       unless="compile.jmx"/>

When I compile Tomcat 4.0 with JMX support (from a locally installed JAR,
which is ok for a package from contrib) will the resulting package work
without it? JMX seems to be only used during an embedded startup.

Looking at recent CVS at least the API seems to be complete, so compiling
using their classes will would work.
