Hi,

I'm currently setting up some new systems with CentOS 6.1. Some of the 
included Java RPMs are fairly old. See e.g.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=759411

I also thought about using now tomcat 7 for production, which is in 
JPackage 6. But it's hard to get some info about how stable jpp6 is. I 
can't see any developer discussion here for the last years. Only bugzilla 
mails. Do you have a second secret mailing list? Is there a road map about 
releasing jpp6?

I could help updating RPMs for certain libraries I'm using, but it seems to 
be a little bit hard to get involved. I also suggest to set up a Wiki on 
jpackage.org to develop some pages about advice on best practices when 
using jpp.

Anyway, I've tried the jpp6 repo and got this
Error: Package: eclipse-svnkit-1.3.0-3.el6.x86_64 
(@anaconda-CentOS-201106060106.x86_64/6.0)
            Requires: svnkit = 1.3.0
            Removing: svnkit-1.3.0-3.el6.x86_64 
(@anaconda-CentOS-201106060106.x86_64/6.0)
                svnkit = 1.3.0-3.el6
            Updated By: svnkit-1.3.5-2.jpp6.noarch (jpackage)
                svnkit = 1.3.5-2.jpp6

Which can be solved by removing the affected RPMs (if one doesn't need them):
rpm -e eclipse-svnkit eclipse-subclipse
