newbie queries!

hi

i have installed tomcat3.1 & jdk1.3 in Win98

1. i get the "out of environment space" error several times when i run the
autoexec.bat file.
the classpath is not being set. what can i do? what does this error mean?
my autoexec.bat file looks like this -
    SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\JDK1.3\BIN;C:\TOM\BIN;
    SET JAXPHOME=C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\Jaxp1.0.1
    SET CLASSPATH=%JAXPHOME%\JAXP.JAR;%JAXPHOME%\PARSER.JAR
    SET CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;.;C:\TOM\BIN;C:\TOM\LIB\SERVLET.JAR;
    SET
CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:\TOM\LIB\WEBSERVER.JAR;C:\TOM\LIB\JASPER.JAR;
    SET CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:\TOM\LIB\ANT.JAR;C:\TOM\LIB\XML.JAR
    SET TOMCAT_HOME=C:\TOM
    SET JAVA_HOME=C:\JDK1.3

2.some times I get this error while launching tomcat also. i donot get this
error when i use
"Just Go - The Tomcat Laucher" advertised in this list but i again get it
when i try to build
a servlet using build.bat.

3. i am also getting the following error
- java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError : sun/tools/javac/main at
org.apache.tools.ant.*
when i build a servlet using build.bat as mentioned above.
does that mean that after installing tomcat - I need to separately install
ant, to use it?
shouldn't the ant.jar file in TOMCAT_HOME/lib dir serve the purpose?

4. in the build.xml file for the hello world app included with the tomcat
doc
init="init" setting is not being recognized in any of the <target ... > tags
during compilation?
can i just remove it?

similarly the items="*" setting in the <jar> tags under  <target name="dist"
..>
gives a "deprecated.." warning . can i just remove it as well?

this is my first tryst with java/servlets/tomcat etc. any help will be
greatly appreciated!
thank you

You must increase the Environment space - in a MSDOS window, click the
upper
left corner, access the properties dialog, Memory tab, set Initial
Environment
higher - mine works at 3072.

Make sure the tools.jar from the JDK is where tomcat can find it.
