I have tried from ant and programmed up a main class to start tomcat via
"catalina.bat start" and tried "catalina.bat start" from ant as well.
Lastly, I finally tried directly running the exact command that catalina.bat
start tries to run and then ended up with classnotfound which makes no sense
since I thought the bootstrap class is supposed to put that
together.....(any ideas?)
