None (other than a real JVM); simply download a real Tomcat from tomcat.apache.org.

If you need support for a 3rd-party repackaged version of Tomcat, you'll need to consult with whoever repackaged it.

All Tomcat requires is the Java JRE. For the versions, see
http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html

My recommendation is to save yourself a lot of grief by not relying on your
Linux distro for either Java or Tomcat. Pick the versions of each that you
want/require, download them from Oracle and Apache, install each, set your
environment, and go. This way  updates are not applied inadvertently. I'm
dealing with a known set-up that I can replicate elsewhere, and I'm better
able to pinpoint an error when something goes wrong.

For the most part yum (and package management in Fedora) works just fine. The only problem I've had is when you specify multiple repositories containing packages with conflicting names or dependencies. Even then, it's usually not too much work to sort out the confusion. In general, don't use a lot of uncoordinated repositories.

This is what I get when I run yum install tomcat5 from the command line:

Installing:
 tomcat5                      noarch 5.5.27-7.4.fc12              fedora  299 k
Installing for dependencies:
 apache-commons-beanutils     noarch 1.8.3-2.fc14                 fedora  226 k
 apache-commons-daemon        i686   1.0.2-5.fc14                 updates  39 k
 apache-commons-digester      noarch 1.8.1-7.fc14                 fedora  142 k
 apache-commons-el            noarch 1.0-21.fc14                  fedora  116 k
 apache-commons-launcher      noarch 1.1-5.20100521svn936225.fc14 fedora   51 k
 classpathx-jaf               i686   1.0-15.1.fc12                fedora   90 k
 classpathx-mail              i686   1.1.1-9.1.fc12               fedora  642 k
 jakarta-commons-collections  i686   3.2.1-3.fc12                 fedora  802 k
 jakarta-commons-collections-tomcat5

 jakarta-commons-pool-tomcat5 i686   1.3-13.fc13                  fedora   86 k
 java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel     i686   1:1.6.0.0-52.1.9.7.fc14      updates 8.5 M
 tomcat5-common-lib           noarch 5.5.27-7.4.fc12              fedora   97 k
 tomcat5-jasper               noarch 5.5.27-7.4.fc12              fedora  469 k
 tomcat5-server-lib           noarch 5.5.27-7.4.fc12              fedora  1.6 M

Transaction Summary
================================================================================
Install      17 Package(s)

Total download size: 13 M
Installed size: 42 M

Of course, the original poster's package list may be different, since it depends on what is already installed on the system.
For me it's much easier to download the appropriate compressed jar file from tomcat.apache.org. I install it somewhere in my home directory, so I can modify at will without having to drop into root.

That works great for development and testing.

. . . . just my two cents.

Isn't the point of a package manager to indicate and resolve dependencies?

Can't 'yum' tell you what Fedora packages are required? If not, get a
better package manager. :(
