I believe whomever created this tomcat version for Fedora has got

configuration and installation. Heck, I cannot even simply define
JAVA_HOME and find the binaries!!! Sheesh!!
Agreed, but this is unlikely to be Fedora-specific. More likely the
repackaging is done to make the system comply with LSB/FHS, which Sun
ignores. Even Microsoft has packaging guidelines and recommended
directories that application developers routinely ignore. (It's easy to do
so when everyone runs as administrator.)
It seems that there are just too many problems with this
version - and this was stated in several sites talking about it.
Rather than "curse the dark", it's in everyone's best interest that those
who identify concrete faults go to bugzilla and "light a candle". Did any
of those sites provide bug numbers?
