Re: [cobalt-developers] New Sun/Cobalt JDK JSP .pkg for RaQs --

[Timothy Stonis <timothy.stonis@xxxxxxx>]

 If you're using the standard jdk 1.3.1 rpm from Sun, this pkg will just
overwrite your files with the same thing. The Tomcat implementation would
need some tweaking if you want to use JDK 1.3. Is a different directory
structure from the one the Cobalt pkg expects. This probably isn't worth the
effort; I would just let the pkg install JDK 1.3.1.
