I noticed that you are using the -J-Xbootclasspath/p option here. In my last email message, I suggesting using the -bootclasspath option which has a *similar* name, but has a *different* meaning. The one I mentioned is a cross-compiling option. See docs such as http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/tooldocs/solaris/javac.html for more info. I believe the -J options would affect the JVM that javac itself is running under and not affect where javac itself resolves classes from. -Edwin
