It's required to build one class IIRC.  The package in FC4 is old, and
quite possibly dates back to the days when we didn't have a working
javadoc, so we wouldn't have been building it and wouldn't have seen
the error.  One of the avalon-foo packages fails in the same way IIRC.
Anyway, I'm happy to remove the ldapjdk depenency from tomcat5 if
Nicholas is happy for it to be removed upstream.  I already removed
tyrex in Fedora, which is another of these required-for-one-class
things.

I've been getting this error too, I think, but it's a way down my todo
list.  I'll have a look at it now.

Cheers,
