M1 problem -- velocity tools?

I got overly excited about M1 and decided to start over with a nice 
clean new install of everything (except MySQL). I'm using Tomcat 5.0.30, 
J2 from HEAD, j2sdk1.4.2_03.

allClean, allBuild, and quickStart go smoothly, but when I launch Tomcat 
I get errors. Lots of errors. The first one is:
...[snip]...

Followed by:
2004-12-06 11:07:08 StandardContext[/jetspeed] Velocity   [info] 
VelocityViewServlet: Default content-type is: text/html
2004-12-06 11:07:08 StandardContext[/jetspeed]StandardWrapper.Throwable

Which makes sense given the previous error. Then:
2004-12-06 11:07:08 StandardContext[/jetspeed]Servlet /jetspeed threw 
load() exception
javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet.init() for servlet velocity

velocity-1.4.jar and velocity-tools-1.1.jar are both in 
jetspeed2/WEB-INF/lib.

Any ideas? I don't know much of anything about Velocity or the tools.
