Do you know how to set your environmental variables on XP? If not, go to Start, Settings, Control Panel (in classic view), System, Advanced (tab), Environmental Variables (button), where you will see lots of neat stuff that is fairly intuitive. If you don't have the paths set, set them. You will need, for example,
ANT_HOME c:\ant CATALINA_HOME c:\tomcat CLASSPATH c:\jdk;c:\tomcat;c:\junit or whatever JAVA_HOME c:\jdk PATH %JAVA_HOME%\bin;%ANT_HOME%\bin or whatever. If you want to create a new system variable, hit "New". If you want to edit an old one, hit "Edit". Probably should avoid "Delete" for the time being. If you want to hard code these values in configurations of your application, that is something different. That is possible too. But, I think this is your easiest start. I recommend you read something like second chapter of Component Development for the Java Platform, by Stuart Dabbs Halloway to get acquainted with what this all really is doing. There is a paucity of literature on the subject. Lesson One: Saying what platform you are working on helps people who really would like to help you if you don't make it too hard to help. Sorry if that sounds too smug, but you seem not to be into helping us help you. Hope this did. Have fun!
