Yes, I got this problem too, and it took me most of a day to figure it out.

Are you on XP? If so, make sure in your ant.properties file you escape the colons and the backslashes, e.g. C\:\\my\\directory\\to\\files

That said, this has worked for others, but it didn't do squat for me. What I finally had to do was to move (or copy) the JDK 1.4 and JDK 1.3 folders to <derby_root>/jdk141 and <derby_root>/jdk141. After much painful inspecting of the build scripts I determined this was the default location the scripts were using and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get the scripts to listen to me and look elsewhere.

Once I did this the build worked like a charm.

Hi,
I seem to be having problems building Derby. I am getting the error "java.lang not found in classpath or bootclassPath" I looked around the archive and tried different versions of servlet.jars as indicated there, but still there was no success.
I also tried it with the developer\trunk branch which comes with geronimo-spec-servlet-2.4-rc4.jar and other related jars, but the same problem persists. Where am I going wrong?. If it is related to a different version of servlet.jar could someone point me where I can get the corect version.
Thanks in advance,
Arun.
