Actually, for s/Fedora Extras/Fedora Core/ this is not strictly true. Firstly, many of the packages have had their non-free dependencies slashed out. This doesn't mean they don't _work_ on gcj, it just means we're not using them for moral reasons. Secondly, many of the packages now have BC-compiled solibs, for speed. Finally, I've made a ton of bug fixes this past few weeks, which I'll be submitting upstream when I get back from holiday. I can't actually think of any gcj-specifics in FC4's Tomcat stack off the top of my head (though that doesn't mean there aren't any!) For most issues the natural place for the fix is in gcj (libgcj, etc) so I've not had to modify things much. Cheers, Gary
