Ah-ha! Well, maybe. My partner/coauthor was getting this on his new windows2000
machine, and the tools.jar (%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar, to be specific) was
definitely on the classpath and definitely contained the uncompressed string
"sun/tools/javac/Main" and presumably the corresponding compressed file since
javac worked just fine externally, and we found that copying that tools.jar
into %JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\ext simply fixed that problem. (Without it, jsp files
didn't work at all, so we never got as far as testing SOAP until after this
perfectly absurd operation had been carried out. SOAP was okay.) Of course
your mileage may vary. :-) Aren't classpaths fun? (Are they worse than "DLL
hell?" Nah, I guess not.)
