Thanks Andrew. Someone on FedoraForum.org is starting to help shed a little light on the problem. He noticed a problem in the manifest of tomcat5's bootstrap.jar file. In the manifest he noticed this line: Class-Path: jmx.jar commons-daemon.jar commons-logging-api-1.1.1.jar tomcat-juli.jar As a workaround, he executed this: ln -s commons-logging-api.jar commons-logging-api-1.1.1.jar This workaround is less involved than combining the contents of two jar files. I went looking for the same problem in tomcat6. However the manifest in bootstrap.jar doesn't even have a Class-Path element. In your previous message you suggested filing a bug with the tomcat package and/or contacting the JPackage project. Does this new information narrow down where I should go next? I could also use a little help pointing me to where I should file a bug report. Is this where I'd file it for Tomcat? https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/index.cgi And is this where I'd shoot the JPackage email? https://www.zarb.org/mailman/listinfo/jpackage-discuss Thanks. -- fedora-devel-java-list mailing list fedora-devel-java-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-java-list
