Well, the main packages are Tomcat and Eclipse.  I can't speak for the
Eclipse guys, but to try out Tomcat you'd probably do something like:

 1. Install a FC4tX box.
 2. yum install tomcat5 tomcat5-webapps tomcat5-admin-webapps
 3. service tomcat5 start
 4. Look at http://localhost:8080/

Assuming they know their way around Tomcat all they need to know to
configure it is that CATALINA_HOME is /usr/share/tomcat5.

Is that the kind of thing they're after?

I'm going to be on holiday in five hours time, and I won't be back til
May 23rd, so I don't want to start a thread there that I won't be able
to respond to properly.  Would you mind mailing them what I just
wrote (assuming it's what you were after)?

Cheers,
