It shouldn't be that complicated. The Enterprise Edition contains all
the junk you need for stuff like EJB, etc. If you just need servlets,
then stick with the J2SE ("Standard Edition"). JDK includes compiler and
code samples (as well as the runtime), while the JRE is just the runtime.
You should pick a version (1.4, 1.5, 1.6) and then stick with the latest
release available for that version (say, 1.5.0_11-b03 is what I have for
the 1.5 JDK).

Wow! And here I am stuck on libstdc++ 2.7, 2.8, and 2.9.
You should be able to install more than one version of that library
side-by-side... (and I question those version numbers...)

Did you try downloading directly from Sun's site? Or, is this a package
that comes from Red Hat (or, worse, a 3rd-party)?
Are you sure that is a Java dependency? It is more likely to be the
package maintainer's dependency rather than Java's. You should contact
the package maintainer to determine why your Java package requires that
version of libstdc++.

Sadly, everything I've ever read on this and other lists about the GNU
version of Java is that it causes more problems than it's worth. I'm
also sad to say that when asking questions on this particular list about
running Tomcat on GNU java, the only response you are likely to get is
"switch to Sun's JDK and save yourself the trouble".
Good luck,
