Hey, Moving the tools.jar to my JRE's lib directory worked. I did some further research concerning tools.jar and JRE/JDK/JAVA_HOME environment variables and it seems that they all have their own JavaHome entry in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\
I think part of my problem is that when I type: java -jar start.jar I'm using the java.exe from the jre and it seems to ignore the JAVA_HOME environment variable and use its JavaHome registry entry. I feel like I've run into this problem on another Windows box with Ant before. It's pretty awesome when both cygwin and the DOS shell, echo $JAVA_HOME, displays the path to the jdk, and then Windows decides to ignore it. w00t JAMES --- Erik Hatcher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Jun 28, 2006, at 8:30 PM, Chris Hostetter wrote: > > Interesting ... it never occured to me that the > demo would require a > > JDK instead of a JRE so that Jetty can compile the > JSPs ... but it > > makes > > sense. > > There are ways to precompile JSP's, but last time I > tinkered with > this it was container specific.
