ok got to the bottom of this. it seems that the javac wasnt hung, just runing slooooow. about 60 s/ jsp page.
by removing the datanucleus-enhancer-1.1.4.jar from my WEB-INF/lib the problem was resolved. i guess datanuclues jars should be in there.... but what a waste of 8 hours ;-( hope this help another. -lp -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
