FYI, it was nice a pkg was made. At one point it came just in time. Now
it's so out dated I would not recommend anyone install it.

The JDK and Tomcat are both outdated. The only thing you could use in
the pkg is some java/tomcat scripts, some Cobalt stuff which most people
just removed anyway, and of course the module for Apache.

Although all can be easily obtained except for the Cobalt stuff. It
enables Java for every site though, and you have to manually control
things from there. So my recommendation is to simply avoid the pkg.

Unless you want to turn back the clock, run an old JDK, and a buggy and
insecure version of Tomcat.
