RE: Is tomcat4 and jdk1.4beta2 combination okay?

[Randy Layman <ra...@aswethink.com>]

	Tomcat is indicating that it can't find JavaC (thus the Class Not
Found for sun.tools.javac.Main).  Does jdk1.4 still have a tools.jar file?
Is it in your classpath for Tomcat? (i.e. is your JAVA_HOME set such that
JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar exists)

An early beta of JDK 1.4 did indeed remove this class.  They have since
put it back in and deprecated it instead -- in 1.4-beta-2 you just get a
warning message about the deprecation.
