It's in the java-experimental overlay. migration-overlay only contains
java-config-2, wrappers, eclasses etc. migration-packages are generation
two ebuilds made to work with java-config-2. One must use
migration-overlay with migration-packages.

java-experimental is generation 1 ebuilds. Meaning they all can work as
is now with portage. No changes to system, other than adding overlay to
make.conf.

I have been running Tomcat 5.5.x on production systems since February.
On development servers since like December. The 5.5.x ebuild and
resulting binaries all should be 100%. If anyone has any problems let me
know, or file a bug report.
