Please help this lost soul! = > TIA You need a JDK (for develeopment) or a JRE( form for your OS. Look at www.java.sun.com. The Java Compiler javac needs the classpath of all external used libs which are typically jar files. The Java Interpreter java needs also a path to get informed where all these pretty jar files are. Check your classpath first. The build.bat file sets the classpath autmatically for you and starting Jakarta Ant a XML based Make like tool we use to automate the build process of dom4j. Hope that helps. If not - don't hestitate to post again.
