No, I'm sorry, I added the "com" in myself - editor's eye. It is complaining
that it can't find sun/tools/Constants.
I will try to have her reinstall the JDK tomorrow.

in your build.xml you can try to set this property
<property name="build.sysclasspath" value="ignore"/>
that should clear the system classpath from being used by ant
also, Brett is right, in my jdk1.3 i do not have com.sun.tools.Constants
class. The nearest one i can see is sun.tools.java.Constants. Could it be
that your friend version of jdk1.3 is bad? Can you try to download new one?

I have jdk 1.3.1 and don't have that class (or package) anywhere.
try
jar -tf tools.jar com\sun\tools\Constants
or
jar -tf tools.jar com\sun\tools\Constants.class
neither returns anything here.
