Um, actually, no, it doesn't (we're talking OS X, right?). You can, if you want, hide the extension, but Mac OS X doesn't add one of its own. I suspect this so-called 'feature' was to make the Finder more like Windows for those making the upgrade. A Mac doesn't need a file extension to tell it what kind of file it is (this is Windows behaviour) - Mac files have a 'resource fork' which contains, amongst other things, the file type, and the associated application. Sorry for the soapbox, but I'd like to reassure fellow Mac OS X users out there - Tomcat works really well - forget it's a Mac, remember it's running BSD4.2 !
