As does Tomcat 3.2.3. I'm new to Tomcat, but I had no trouble
installing it. My biggest decision was where to put it! (I decided on
/Users/Shared, for no particular reason.)
I couldn't figure out what to set JAVA_HOME to, so I didn't set it,
and all seems well.
I did have to chmod 755 the *.sh scripts after installation.
I found that I could run the scripts as a user if I wanted to listen
on port 8080, but I had to use sudo when I changed the configuration
file to listen on port 80. I expect the same is true on other
platforms.
One puzzling aspect occurred after I first installed Tomcat on the
default port. Internet Explorer [v5.1b1 (3408)] crashed when I tried
to access http://localhost:8080. Changing this to
http://localhost:8080/index.html worked, as did using the OmniWeb
browser. Moving Tomcat to port 80 eliminated the crash entirely.
