Re: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/cactus/ServletTest Case problem again.

Hi Frisco,

polluting the system classpath should generally be avoided.

That said, it *should* be possible to put cactus.jar in the system 
classpath, but then you'd also have to put junit.jar, aspectjrt.jar, 
commons-httpclient.jar, commons-logging.jar and servlet.jar/j2ee.jar 
(i.e. all the dependancies of Cactus) in the system classpath IIUC.

Don't do that :-)
