It's not class files it contains: it's xml and jmx jars. I haven't
quoted out of context: I know the details.

An excellent example of quoting out of context.  The very next sentence
says:
"Read the RELEASE-NOTES and the RUNNING.txt file in the distribution for
more details."

And, if you actually bother to do that, you'll find the following in
RUNNING.txt:
"Out of the box, Tomcat 5.5 requires the Java 2 Standard Edition Runtime
Environment (JRE) version 5.0 or later.  However, you can also run
Tomcat
5.5 on earlier versions of the JRE, as detailed below."

The only thing needed to run on 1.4 is the compatibility package, which
contains a few class files that are standard in the 1.5 JRE but have to
be downloaded separately for 1.4.
