Stefano,
Which IDE are you using? Most don't require an extra class, you can usually
just include the webserver.jar and servlet.jar in the classpath and specify
com.sun.web.shell.Startup as the start class.
J++ can certainly do this.
>From memory, VCafe can't specify a start class that isn't in the project (ie
that you have source for?), although this may be changed now....
