This project defines a build system for building Apache Tomcat 8.0.x source and binary RPM files. The included build.sh must be used to kick off the RPM building process. The SPEC file assumes various work is done by the script; e.g. the Tomcat packages being extracted and compiled in the corre locations.

Further, the SPEC file relies on _java_home and _jdk_require build variables to be set according to the Java packages installed on the build system (and, in turn, the target install system[s]). That is, if you are using the community build Java packages, these variables will be set to "/usr/java/latest" and "jdk", respectively. If you are using the RedHat packages, like the java-1.8.0-oracle and java-1.8.0-oracle-devel packages, then they would be set to "/usr/lib/jvm/java" and "java-sdk". The build.sh script does this for you.
