what has worked for me (for SUN JDK, at least - you can try replacing the the
sun jdk with IBM jdk):
1) apt-get install fakeroot java-package
2) fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-xxxx.bin
(where jdk-xxxx.bin is the sun jdk download.)
3) after some questions, you get a .deb package
4) dpkg -i whatever.deb
then, try installing tomcat4 and whatever else.
hope that helps.
anoop.
