Re: Tools.jar File

[Michael Jara]

Orion needs your jdk class library (tools.jar) to compile its generated code.  (Orion generates code based upon the interfaces which you write.)   I don't like copying jars all over my machine, so I instead add the "library" tag to my server.xml.  Something like this:   <library path="C:\jdk1.3\lib" />   This will cause Orion to fing your tools.jar, assuming it is in "C:\jdk1.3\lib".  Interestingly, this works as opposed to "C:\jdk1.3\lib\tools.jar" (which I beleive also works,) as would be in a normal classpath.  However, you can also use the "libarary" tag to inform Orion of other items in your classpath.   Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: B.

What is the purpose of copying the tools.jar file from my jdk1.3.0_02\lib directory into the d:\orion directory?     Thanks and I appreciate you help.   Brandy Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
