I'm not trying to be different or anything, and I know that it's a common problem, but please check back over the thread. Specifically, > >>>> <>D:\Program_Files\apache\xindice-1.1b4\java\examples>ant > >>>> Unable to locate tools.jar.

You need "Java2 SDK", directory will be "j2sdk1.4.2", and it > will have tools.jar. But look what %JAVA_HOME% is set to: C:\Documents and Settings\Rees>echo %JAVA_HOME% D:\Program_Files\Java\j2sdk1.4.2_05 As I was attempting to point out last night before I went home, I succeeded in compiling both Tomcat and Xindice. I'm running Tomcat out of C:\Documents and Settings\Rees>echo %CATALINA_HOME% D:\Program_Files\apache\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25-src\jakarta-tomcat-5\build which seems a little strange, but I didn't see anything that said to move the build product. After building Xindice, I dropped xindice.war into Tomcat, as you can see here (sorry about the Japanese): ----------------------------------------------------------- C:\Documents and Settings\Rees>dir %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps ドライブ D のボリューム ラベルは ボリューム です ボリューム シリアル番号は xxxx-xxxx です D:\Program_Files\apache\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25-src\jakarta-tomcat-5\build\webapps のディレクトリ 2004/07/14 19:18 <DIR> . 2004/07/14 19:18 <DIR> .. 2004/07/14 19:18 <DIR> addressbook 2004/07/14 18:53 4,269,255 addressbook.war 2004/07/09 14:52 <DIR> balancer 2004/07/09 14:52 <DIR> jsp-examples 2004/07/09 14:53 <DIR> ROOT 2004/07/09 14:52 <DIR> servlets-examples 2004/07/09 14:53 <DIR> tomcat-docs 2004/07/09 14:52 <DIR> webdav 2004/07/09 20:38 <DIR> xindice 2004/07/09 20:10 4,305,828 xindice.war 2 個のファイル 8,575,083 バイト 10 個のディレクトリ 27,427,053,568 バイトの空き領域 ----------------------------------------------------------- And, incidentally, here are the build and dist directories from compiling xindice: ----------------------------------------------------------- C:\Documents and Settings\Rees>dir %XINDICE_HOME%\build ドライブ D のボリューム ラベルは ボリューム です ボリューム シリアル番号は xxxx-xxxx です D:\Program_Files\apache\xindice-1.1b4\build のディレクトリ 2004/07/14 18:53 <DIR> . 2004/07/14 18:53 <DIR> .. 2004/07/14 18:53 <DIR> addressbook-classes 2004/07/09 20:10 <DIR> classes 2004/07/09 20:10 <DIR> classes-tests 2004/07/14 18:53 <DIR> guide-classes 2004/07/09 20:10 <DIR> test-results 2004/07/09 20:10 <DIR> war-bin 0 個のファイル 0 バイト 8 個のディレクトリ 27,427,053,568 バイトの空き領域 C:\Documents and Settings\Rees>dir %XINDICE_HOME%\dist ドライブ D のボリューム ラベルは ボリューム です ボリューム シリアル番号は xxxx-xxxx です D:\Program_Files\apache\xindice-1.1b4\dist のディレクトリ 2004/07/14 18:53 <DIR> . 2004/07/14 18:53 <DIR> .. 2004/07/14 18:53 4,269,255 addressbook.war 2004/07/09 20:10 461,825 xindice-1.1b4.jar 2004/07/09 20:10 4,305,828 xindice-1.1b4.war 2004/07/09 20:10 1,543 xindice-1.1b4.xml 2004/07/14 18:53 10,490 xindice-guide.jar 5 個のファイル 9,048,941 バイト 2 個のディレクトリ 27,427,053,568 バイトの空き領域 ----------------------------------------------------------- Now, the reason I was compiling the examples by themselves was that I am clueless, and didn't think to look in the build directory for the build products. The build messages clued me in. I don't remember getting complaints about tools.jar when compiling the entire xindice. So I thought maybe it was just that the build file for the examples wasn't getting environment variables set. Which is why I tried pre-defining CLASSPATH to point to tools.jar, and that allows the examples to be built by themselves, in spite of the complaint about not being able to find tools.jar on the C: drive (where they are not, of course). I'd like to work out some patches for the build files, but I'll have to negotiate with the boss about the time first. -- Joel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
