java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sun/tools/javac/Main

In English, what does this error mean. I suspect that it is looking for a
java class which it can't find. Help People. What is the next logical step
here?
I don't want tomcat acting as an HTTP server, just jserv. What do I need to
do?

You need to include the $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar file in your CLASSPATH...

At least in java 2, the tools.jar file contains the sun.tools.javac.Main
class.  I am not sure where it is in JDK 1.1.x

Cheers

Re: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sun/tools/javac/Main

Posted by Jason Pell <Ja...@dssonline.com.au>.
Perhaps specify $JAVA_HOME environment variable so it can find this stuff.
On unix, you could include it in your run script.

Not sure.
