I'm not sure it's the responsability of JSPWiki to add symlinks in the tomcat5 directory tree. Maybe we can add a little script in tomcat5 to let an administrator add a symlink if the package is installed, but what does happen if the package is removed (libmysql-java or libpg-java or else)? The idea of adding three or four "one line package" will be rejected by ftp-masters as Kalle already said. Maybe an explanation in the README file with a link to http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html can help. Also, note that the configuration of tomcat5 should be done by an administrator, not a usual user. An administrator should know about the symlink to common/libs and has the right to do that.
