I don't know about Tomcat 5.5 specifically, but in Tomcat 5.0, startup.bat calls catalina.bat which calls setclasspath.bat. You'll see it runs the following, and if it can't find any of the files (probably because your JAVA_HOME is a JRE and not a JDK), it'll call "exit" and close your window:
if not exist "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe" goto noJavaHome if not exist "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\javaw.exe" goto noJavaHome if not exist "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\jdb.exe" goto noJavaHome if not exist "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\javac.exe" goto noJavaHome It's kinda hard to see the meaningful error message from this batch file when the window closes. I've always wondered if this is a bug?
