Sorry, upstream means the original source of the software, in this case
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/downloads_tomcat-5.cgi
download
http://apache.sunsite.ualberta.ca/jakarta/tomcat-5/v5.0.30/bin/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.30.tar.gz
than 'tar -zxf jakarta-tomcat-5.0.30.tar.gz' to expand it
now you'll have a directory jakarta-tomcat/ try adding this as your
server in the same way you did with /usr/share/tomcat5

The old version of eclipse in FC4 might cause trouble but I suspect not
since they'd already done the API freeze for M6 so plugins shouldn't
have trouble.

Unfortunately I don't know that much about tomcat or how it's packaged
for FC4. If the upstream tomcat works with wtp my suspicion would be
culprit is the way it's packaged and the location of files, if this is
the case someone more familiar with tomcat may be able to shed light on
the issue and find a way to trick wtp into using the rpm installed
tomcat.
