I find that's the default position of a lot or projects that either don't care to understand the complexities of class loaders or have been burned by so many different environments that themselves don't care to understand and/or sanely implement proper class loading. When in doubt, just dump everything into /usr/lib/java/lib. That'll show 'em. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk3WiRMACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PA9YgCfd7RXTyWqg6Hciaj/AL3mbDrm sqQAn31xkYqqmkxLLegJuevn/r0lJpC7 =mpir -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
