Tomcat doesn't need the J2EE download, and, in some situations, it can cause problems. (Don't know if Hipergate needs anything from it, but I would hope not.) You should install just the JDK (it has its own JRE), and JAVA_HOME should point to that. > Unable to find a javac compiler; > com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath. > Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK More evidence that you have JAVA_HOME pointing to the wrong place, perhaps to the JRE or J2EE instead of the JDK. Need to make sure that /<appropriate_path>/tools.jar appears somewhere in the classpath used to launch Tomcat. Do NOT use the CLASSPATH environment variable; the only jars you need on the eventual -cp parameter used to start Tomcat are tools.jar (from the JDK) and bootstrap.jar (from the Tomcat bin directory). > It seems to be a system classLoader problem, which (according to: > http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/class-loader-howto.html If you're running 5.0.30, why are you looking at the doc for 4.1? Can you run javac yourself? I.e., does java -cp $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar com.sun.tools.javac.Main do anything useful? (It should show you a list of the javac options.) - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
