Tomcat support improvements
The 10.04 cycle saw a lot of improvements in usability for the tomcat6 package. What can we do now to better support the needs of users developing and deploying Tomcat in production ? Is there even better defaults that we should use ?

- looks good to me.
jib review / 20100526:
* Suggested priority: 2
* Suggested Subcycle: Alpha3 - No rush and may be good work for Java head?
* Some work needs to happen in alpha2 (linked to a SRU that the support team asked for), see wi below -- ttx
* Given how intimate I am with the codebase, I prefer to lead this one (I already started working on the urgent items) --ttx
* "Hibernate migration to main" is a perfect spec for Java head, as it allows to see and touch Java packaging on a large number of packages (and bring expertise to cut down deps where needed) --ttx
