Hi,

I've been trying to get Spring working with ant and tomcat. Ant was
building just fine, but I came in today and tried to build it and got
this:

Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object

?!?! Makes no sense to me. There _is_ an older version of java
installed on my machine; but JAVA_HOME and ANT_HOME are set to the
correct paths, and <which java>and <java -version> produce the correct
version.

Any help would greatly alleviate my frustration! Thanks in advance...
