Tomcat itself is pure java and completely platform independent -- no
need to build from source at all. Just download it from the tomcat
website and expand it in your system to install it. It can go pretty
much anywhere in the file system and still work. I would highly
recommend you get a real Java JVM from Sun and make sure your system
isn't going to try to use gnu java or one of those other open source
java distribution. Those open source java's are alright for desktop
apps, but don't work well enough for tomcat.
You could use the pre-package version of tomcat available with your
Fedora system, but a lot of people have problems with those distro
packages. They want to do complicated symlinks schemes to insure
there's only ever one copy of any given jar and that typically breaks
tomcat.

Hi all
I have a pre-written Tomcat application that I would like to install on
my Fedora 7 server. There are binaries for Tomcat available for this
linux distro, so theoretically I assume it should be possible to run a
Tomcat instance on this platform without having to compile Tomcat from
sources. I'm not a java expert though, so I don't really know where to
start with that.
The application that I'm trying to install is called actiTIME and its
installation instructions are here:
http://www.actitime.com/installation_guide_unix.html
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Cheers
JP
