I've successfully specified Jikes as the Java compiler for the "jsp" servlet
under Tomcat 3.2.2 with Windows NT.  However, I can't get Tomcat to use
JIKESPATH instead of CLASSPATH when compiling, as the JspCompilerPlugin
supplied with Tomcat passes the "-classpath" param to Jikes, consequently
overriding JIKESPATH.  As a result, Jikes no longer finds rt.jar, so it
can't compile anything (as it can't find java.lang.* ..!).

I've correctly setup the environment variables for normal use.  So at
MS-DOS, I can type:
C:\classes> jikes Hello.java

However, if I type:
C:\classes> jikes -classpath . Hello.java

... it doesn't work, as JIKESPATH is overridden.  Looking at "jasper.log", I
see that Tomcat takes the second option, so JIKESPATH isn't taken into
account.  How can I get around this?

Thanks,
-Chris
