Before complaining, you should provide the info people requested to be able to help you. I asked you
twice which Eclipse Plug-in you were using to run Tomcat, and you did not replied. I explained to
you GCJ is not a complete Java implementation, so you should expect problems and incompatibilities.
I also explained you that whatever you are using to run Tomcat under Eclipse is not part of the
Eclipse packatges included Fedora Core, so it may hit something unimplemented or buggy in GCJ and so
makes sense to know which plug-in or which procedure you did used to run Tomcat inside Eclipse.

I also already explained to you why the root requirement and different packaging makes sense and how
to circunvent it, without feedback.

Looks like you want just to complain and expect a magic solution that doesn't requite you to work
and to think. Many people on this list uses Eclise and Tomcat as suplied by Fedora Core 4, so they
both work. Much more people use the original packages from JPackage in which the Fedora work was
based.

If you have a different setup or doen't have the Linux sysadmin knowledge to make this work, it's
your fault, not the people who packaged Fedora Core. And if you do expect someone to help you, you
have to behave in a way people can actually help you, but you don't behave like someone that want to
get help.
