building ant

Hi.

I previously built tomcat 3.1 on Solaris, but I can't remember how I did it.
I'm trying to rebuild and am trying to follow the instructions for building.
TO begin with, I must have jakarta-ant parallel to my jakarta-tomcat
directory. I got Ant 1.1 from the jakarta site and am now trying to build
it. I executed the bootstrap.sh script successfully but when I try to
execute the build script

(build.sh -Ddist.dir=myant dist) I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
sun/tools/javac/Main
        at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Javac.doClassicCompile(Compiled
Code)
        at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Javac.execute(Compiled Code)
        at org.apache.tools.ant.Target.execute(Compiled Code)
        at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.runTarget(Project.java:675)
        at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTarget(Compiled Code)
        at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.runBuild(Compiled Code)
        at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.main(Compiled Code)

my JAVA_HOME is set to /usr/java1.2 and I can't understand where it wants
the sun/tools/javac class from.
I have /usr/java1.2/bin and /usr/java1.2/lib in my PATH.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
-Yoav

The problem is that it's not finding tools.jar under your JAVA_HOME. Check
to make sure that jar exists under /usr/java1.2/lib first. The class
sun.tools.javac.Main is actually a part of this jarfile. It is the
underlying tool that ant actually uses to handle the compilation.
