My thanks to Erik Daughtrey and Christopher Chan for the responses. I got a succefful compile using jdk 1.4.
The other problem I was having logging into the administration console application (HTTP Status 408) I solved by allowing cookies in FireFox. Minor suggestions: 1) In the BUILDING.txt file included in the geronimo source tar ball, include a statement as to what JDK is needed, what version, etc. 2) In Geronimo's administration console application, adjust its behavior so that rather than dispalying an HTTP Status 408 error message, it displays a message stating that for the application to work properly cookies must be enabled (that is, if that is actually the case). Thank you very much to all the developers who made Geronimo-1. It's great. Steve Whitlatch
