Hi Craig, I am really sorry for taking up too many of your resources on this, but i just cant figure out how to get tomcat to build. I used the release version of tomcat source and i think it gets build upto dist-static and then it gives the following error, i think in target dist-prepare,
tomcat-docs: BUILD FAILED C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0-rc1-src\webapps\tomcat-docs\build.xml:84: Class org.apache .tools.ant.taskdefs.XSLTProcess doesn't support the nested "param" element So i downloaded the latest source from the nightly builds but after updating build.properties when i try to run ant -projecthelp i get following error C:\Tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-4.0>ant -projecthelp Searching for build.xml ... Buildfile: C:\Tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-4.0\build.xml BUILD FAILED C:\Tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-4.0\build.xml:239: Class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs. Zip doesn't support the nested "zipfileset" element Total time: 1 second Could you please help me figure out the problem, Thanks for your help. Nitin -----Original Message----- From: Craig R.

It tells you exactly where to get everything (including getting the latest Servlet and JSP classes from the "jakarta-servletapi1-4" repository). > Nitin > Craig
