Brilliant! I looked through the 'Ant Build...' dialog and found there was a 'tools.jar' file being referenced from a v1.4 installation on my computer. There was no 'tools.jar' in my 5.0 library...hmmm? I went hunting on my machine (good on Google Desktop) and found a tools.jar v5.0 in my "Program Files" directory, copied all of the libs from this area into my v5.0 j2se library and it now compiles perfectly.
Now I can start the tutorial properly... Cheers mc -- Murray Collingwood Focus Computing p +61 415 24 26 24 http://www.focus-computing.com.au
