My understanding is this: The binaries from eclipse.org include Tomcat4, it is used to run the help server. Some part of tomcat4 requires non-free tools to build, and so is not included in debian. There are two options: rip out the non-free part of tomcat4 (the part isn't used by Eclipse) or update Eclipse to tomcat5 and patch any broken pieces there. -Billy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
