I was starting to wonder if it was worth keeping FC4 due to several problems but I think I will keep it for now and wait for FC5 to become stable, thanks to you! I think I will try to solve the current problems with FC4 namely the Eclipse/Tomcat issue that I have been fighting for weeks now and it appears that the Fedora-Java mailing list has been inactive for several days... must be the holidays. Again, thanks for your input! Kind regards, Dan -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition. Version: 7.1.371 / Virus Database: 267.14.9/216 - Release Date: 12/29/2005
