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.
