NOTE: The tar files in this distribution use GNU tar extensions, and must be untarred with a GNU compatible version of tar. The version of tar on Solaris and Mac OS X will not work with these files.

Tomcat 5.5 requires JRE 5.0 by default. Read the RELEASE-NOTES and the RUNNING.txt file in the distribution for more details.

Packaging Details (or "What Should I Download?")

• apache-tomcat-[version].zip or .tar.gz: base distro, all non-embedded users download this.
• apache-tomcat-[version].exe: Windows installer for Tomcat. Please note that while this distribution includes the vast majority of the base distribution, some of the command-line scripts for launching Tomcat are not included. This distribution is intended for those users planning to launch Tomcat through the Windows shortcuts or services.
• apache-tomcat-[version]-admin.zip or .tar.gz: the Tomcat Administration webapp only.
• apache-tomcat-[version]-compat.zip or .tar.gz: required in addition to the base distro for using Tomcat with a Java 1.4 environment.
• apache-tomcat-[version]-deployer.zip or .tar.gz: the standalone Tomcat Web Application Deployer.
• apache-tomcat-[version]-embed.zip or .tar.gz: for using Tomcat only as an embedded servlet container.

Thank you for using Tomcat!.
