Hi James- first, my disclaimer: I'm a C++, Visual C++, ATL, COM, DCOM guy, so I'm by no means a TC Guru, in fact considering the problems I've had with TC and Java, I hate the entire Java scene, but aside from that here's what I did:
I downloaded and extracted the JDK 1.1.8 program to my root drive C:\ , open a command prompt and (for win95 / 98) type SET CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:\...\...\*.jar (where C:\...\...\*.jar is the path to any jar files that you want included, if you need several *.jar files in your classpath each entry must be a fully qualified path to the target jar file and each seperate FQP (fully qualified path) must be seperated by a ; (no spaces) the press enter when the edits are finished (still at the command prompt) you can type cls to clear the screen then type set and press enter to double check that the classpath edits were successful find the javac.exe program, copy your *.java file to the same directory and type javac.exe myProgram.java if the compilation is successful you will be returned to the command prompt, if not then the code needs changes. >From: James Adams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: NoClassDefFoundError: sun/tools/javac/Main >Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2001 14:33:48 -0700 > >I have heard that perhaps I need to make sure that tools.jar is in >Tomcat's CLASSPATH. > >How can I determine the environment variables being used by Tomcat >?
