Modified: webapps/tomcat-docs/appdev build.xml.txt
Log:
Modify the default class path created when compiling to include all of the
classes that Tomcat 4 automatically exposes to web applications. In this
way, there is no special case for "servlet.jar" or other commonly required
files.
Applications built with this file will need no customizations unless they
have other JAR files that need to be included in "/WEB-INF/lib".

- For the purposes of this example, the "servlet.jar" property should be set

- It is included on the compiler classpath (because this is required in order

- This example also includes a dummy "foo.jar" property, used to illustrate

Rather than relying on the CLASSPATH environment variable, Ant includes
