Description Daniel Berrangé 2004-02-03 12:54:30 UTC 
Description of problem:
The RPMs for Tomcat supplied by JPackage are incredibly difficult to
install, since they have dependancies on packages which are shipped in
source form only. So to install Tomcat RPMs you first have to visit
java.sun.com download the proprietry packages, build and then install
binary RPMs of them. This is completely impratical, so most people
just download the binary ZIP/tag.gz from jakarta.apache.org instead.

In the same way that we pick up installed version of resin by looking
for RESIN_HOME, then /opt/resin/latest, then /opt/resin/2.1.x, we
should do similar for tomcat, looking at TOMCAT_HOME, then
/opt/tomcat/latest, then /opt/tomcat/4.1.x, then /opt/tomcat/4.0.x
