Craig,
thank you very much for your reply. And I apologize if my posting "sounded"
a bit drastic. If I hadn't checked the system settings about six trillion
times and if I hadn't checked whether the JDK contains /lib/tools.jar,
permissions etc. I wouldn't have written this posting.
I agree, my problem is not universal. It just turned out to be strange.
Sincerely
Michael Kastner
