Tomcat is open source. It is the Jakarta project of Apache. Sun's JVM is not open source as far as I know, though it is free to download. IBM's JVM is not open source, either. NetBeans is an open source development environment for Java; but you still need a JVM.

If not one or the other, then it most likely won't be included in the main distro. The same for TOMCAT or JAVA as another person asked about. Once you start including these non open, non free (as in speech) stuff, you suddenly find yourself running Solaris or Windows, or some other propriatary OS, and That Aint Good(tm). -- Jesse Keating For Web Services and Linux Consulting, Visit --> j2Solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) Was I helpful?
