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.
Try creating a file called ant.properties containing these lines with edits for your actual paths:
j14lib=C:/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/lib j13lib=C:/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/lib proceed=false sane=false
It should be locate in C:\Documents and Settings\<user name> if you are a Windows user, where <user name> is the name of the Windows user running the build. For Unix and Linux, it would be ~home.
I have used exactly the file above with success.
NOTE: Forward slashes as shown above work for both Windows and *nix. No escaping of the colon is necessary provided the rest of the string uses forward slashes.
