You probably didn't set JAVA_HOME, so Tomcat was started in the JRE instead of the JDK. > My other related question is: does maven have a way to deploy > .war files directly into the local app server? Currently I'm > doing an ant <copy> as a <postGoal> to war. I've got a few additions such as this to add to war/appserver, I just haven't gotten around to cleaning up and adding them. It is basically just a postGoal anyway though :) Cheers, Brett
