hi,

has anybody installed Java in order to run some Tomcat/Apache stuff on
NetBSD?

to make it simple, i already chose i386 for this, but after installing

sun-jre14-2.9       Sun's Java(tm) 2 Runtime Environment 1.4.2
sun-jdk14-2.9       Sun's Java(tm) 2 SDK, Standard Edition 1.4.2
jakarta-tomcat5-5.0.30nb1 The Apache Project's Java Servlet 2.4 and JSP
2.0 server

(besides other packages, of course) i'm not able to start tomcat:

deneb# /etc/rc.d/tomcat5 start
Starting tomcat.
The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined
This environment variable is needed to run this program

the weird thing is that although the Java SDK (JDK) is installed i'm not
able to find something that looks like this on the machine...?

any help greatly appreciated -- thanks in advance,

timo
