[ale] Tomcat install

[Jason Vinson]

Actually, Gentoo compiles java source (cpp) into java binaries from 
Sun.  They use their own optimizations which i have seen cause some 
compatibility problems, mostly with Eclipse.  I usually just download 
the binaries from sun, then do an emerge -i for the sun-j2sdk package 
(-i is for inject, like stubbing a package).
