Hi Ernesto I'm hoping to start packaging tomcat7 in the next few weeks (indeed I'm running a session on it at the Ubuntu Developer Summit next week if you want to tune in - see [0]). If you can wait a bit it would be great to collaborate on this work. Looking at this issue specifically; this class should be contained in tomcat-util.jar that the build process produces. It looks like the jar's produced by the tomcat build has changed quite a bit since tomcat6 so the packaging will need a thorough review to ensure that its picking up all the right bits and pieces. From memory a standard tomcat install relies on jar files being installed to the correct locations in the CATALINA_BASE directory so you might want to start looking there. I generally lurk on the debian-java IRC channel if you want to discuss in more detail.
