I don't mess with CLASSPATH or the copying the jar files to JDK/jre/lib/ext directory. I use JBuilder 5 Personal to compile my java classes. That way you just point the IDE to the libs that you want to include in the project. You can tell the IDE to use the jar's that Tomcat is currently using without copying them to another directory (as well as Struts or anything else you are using). P.S. JBuilder 5 Personal is free from Borland. :) Barry -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
