The gcj based Java implementation is depended upon by over
100 other
packages including OpenOffice.org and Eclipse. So it cannot
be easily
removed without breaking anything.
The best thing to do is to follow step 5 in the blog entry
that I quoted
in an earlier post in this thread:
http://www.weiqigao.com
/blog/2007/01/14/tomcat_5_on_fedora_core_6_in_five_easy_step
s.html
If that sounds too scary and won't give you the version of
Sun Java that
you want (it's only 1.5.0_10), you can try installing the
RPM from Sun's
website (which you seem to have already done) and edit
/use/share/tomcat/conf/tomcat5.conf and alter its $JAVA_HOME
definition.
This is the route that one of my colleagues took when
confronted with a
task similar to yours (getting Tomcat to run on a Fedora
Core 6 server
whie he himself is a Mac OS X fanatic.) The problem with
this approach
that that this step is only the beginning of the
configuration file
editing requires to get the thing working:
"Hey, Weiqi, Tomcat 5 uses JDK 5 now, but Lucene
seems to be not
working. Could you take a look?"
"That worked now, but I can't run XSLT. Can you
come?",
...
He lost patience, and opted to install his own version of
Tomcat 5 and
all the libraries he needed in a separate location and
started that copy
of Tomcat 5 by hand in a terminal window. That worked like
a charm, as
it should.
[BTW, the reason for the gcj stuff is that the Sun JDK does
not have an
Open Source license that is required by FC6. You can't play
mp3's or
flashes on FC6 out of the box for the same reason.]
