Hello All,

I know you're supposed to run tomcat using the SDK but I want to avoid
that if possible. Instead, I am trying to run tomcat 4.1 using the
JRE...and I still want the ability to compile servlets. I read
somewhere that you can accomplish this by copying tools.jar to the
$jre_home/lib directory. I tried this and I get:

> ./startup.sh
The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly
This environment variable is needed to run this program

My JAVA_HOME is set to the base of my JRE (/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01/).
That path is valid. Tomcat starts if I set JAVA_HOME to the base of my SDK.

What do I have to do to get Tomcat to run with the JRE? Is there a doc
for this?

PS> You can redistribute the SDK if it is bundled with your software,
right? The legal agreement on java.sun.com seems to confirm this ("The
program [SDK] must add significant and primary functionality to the
software."). I've read in a few forums, though, that you can only
redistribute the JRE. Perhaps Sun's policy has changed?
