Description John O'Shea CLA 2005-09-06 04:48:20 EDT 
The main reason this is needed is to be able to add the JDK's tools.jar file to
the servers classpath (in the .serverdef) so that when the server is launched,
it is able to use the javac compiler to it to compile servlet source (generated
from JSPs) into classes.   Servers do not ship the tools.jar and JDT does not
add it to the launch classpath. 
This is a common requirement for most application servers that WTP will be
launching locally - JBoss, Jetty, WebLogic etc...

This does sound important, but changing "version" was 0.7.1 so changing to 
0.7 since there is no fix for it in 0.7.1. 

Gorkem, if I am mistaken, please correct. 
Otherwise, please update the milestone target if/when a fix/improvement 
is supplied. 

Thanks.

I have a patch that enables the use of System properties as property in
serverdef files. But because the default VM and the VM used for launching the
server may be different properties such as java.home may be problemmatic. 
I am not sure if I may come up with a more complete solution for 1.0, do you
think this will be sufficient.

I am defering this to 1.0.1 since it is major but not "Hot".
Comment 4 Gorkem Ercan CLA 2006-05-30 18:01:24 EDT 
delaying to 2.0

Removing invalid target. Please feel free to retarget if we're planning
to fix this soon.
