I built tomcat5 without having ldapjdk installed. It doesn't seem to be 
required
to build anything.  I am in favor of getting rid of the jpackage, 
especially due
to the binary jar (if we can't get rid of that). We just need to find out
whether java-gcj-compat should provide jndi-ldap.jar or not. Even if it
doesn't, all we have to do is remove any reference of jndi-ldap from
tomcat5.spec and it should be fine.

As for the ldapjdk javadocs, if you are planning on keeping ldapjdk in 
FC, then
I suggest you run the build again to make sure it's still building (or it does
build and I just have bad luck).

If this error has been there, then how was it built in the first place? 
Has FC4
gone through a rebuild process at all? I feel like some packages may have been
bootstrapped in or gotten in at one time when they worked and then stopped
working at a later date. If I am the only one getting this error, I don't know
enough about jasper (or whatever) right now to investigate.
