John,
This does not seem to be a Velocity issue, but rather a J2 startup problem,
(velocity is just the first victim) The first problem is the weirdest... it
is having problems reading the /WEB-INF/toolbox.xml config file. Can you
validate its contents in the tomcat install directory against the CVS
version?

Subject: M1 problem -- velocity tools?
I got overly excited about M1 and decided to start over with a nice
clean new install of everything (except MySQL). I'm using Tomcat 5.0.30,
J2 from HEAD, j2sdk1.4.2_03.
allClean, allBuild, and quickStart go smoothly, but when I launch Tomcat
I get errors. Lots of errors. The first one is:
...[snip]...

Followed by:

Which makes sense given the previous error. Then:

velocity-1.4.jar and velocity-tools-1.1.jar are both in
jetspeed2/WEB-INF/lib.
Any ideas? I don't know much of anything about Velocity or the tools.
