[Bug 1031395] Re: tomcat6 and tomcat7 are not installable side-by-side

[Clint Byrum]

Agreed, I believe alternatives should be used for the common files so
that users can select the "default" ones.

Here are the files that are common to both in quantal:

/usr/share/java/catalina-ant.jar
/usr/share/java/catalina-tribes.jar
/usr/share/java/tomcat-coyote.jar
/usr/share/java/tomcat-i18n-es.jar
/usr/share/java/tomcat-i18n-fr.jar
/usr/share/java/tomcat-i18n-ja.jar
/usr/share/java/tomcat-juli.jar

That said, its hard to recommend spending much time on tomcat6. One can
always use a chroot (see the 'schroot' package for a nice interface to
these) to serve them both from the same machine.
