Ugh.... my apologies, Martin.
My system had been set to use Java 5 as the default. Inside the buildfile I
was using Java 1.4, but when I typed "javac -help" from the command line I saw
the -endorseddirs option!
In any case... I tried the extdirs option, but that doesn't work either; I'm
beginning to think I need to modify the boot classpath... but apparently when I
set that option, it *overrides* the boot classpath instead of appending to it.
This may not be appropriate for this list, since this becomes more of a javac
question, but how does one modify the bootclasspath instead of overriding it?
Regards,
Anthony Frasso
