Thanks for the tomcat package-- it's a huge help :)

I did notice, though, that the verison in use (7.0.33) has some CVEs associated with it (http://tomcat.apache.org/security-7.html). I've worked on getting 7.0.54 to build but it has the following issues:

- needs ant 1.8 (I have an ant18 package I'm going to look at submitting to EPEL)

I've written it similar to the ant17 package in that it can't co-exist with the current version of ant but should be a drop-in replacement. Since it's only a build-time dependency I think this will be OK.

- needs ecj > 4.7

I find this a little perplexing.I've got patches that alleviate the compile-time issues with tomcat 7 using the newer ecj but I don't know what the long-term effects are. I had thought about creating an ecj4 package but I'm not clear on how to namespace it so it could co-exist with the current ecj package in EL6.

Any thoughts/guidance would be appreciated.

Best,
Aaron
