A Tomcat installation is just a bunch of files plus some way of starting
Tomcat. Your installer could install the files (don't forget you may need to
install a JRE as well, as the machine may not already have an appropriate
version installed).
Your installer could also call the script to create an appropriate service - it
depends whether you want to start Tomcat as a service, or whether you just want
it started when the user starts your program. Be aware of your user base if
you choose to do this. In general, I get rather upset when an installer
installs something that runs at startup on my machine and doesn't tell me.
