Installing Tomcat 6x on centos 5

First, we have to read neo220: Installing Tomcat 6.x on CentOS 5 which gives us the most, but not necessarily everything.

Have you already installed java via 'yum install java' - you have a java 1.4 gnu version. But again, it is help when we switch to Sun's JVM. It is in the 'Make the Sun VM default for the system' which is all the help - otherwise we run the build on java 1.4 gnu.
