I have the book, but I must not be understanding something.

You mention that you use J to map to your croftsoft, and that under
it you house the ext directory to hold JAR files needed for the
build. I expected to see such a directory being created when I
unzipped the file that I got from SourceForge that goes along with
your book, but no such directory was created.

Reading chapter 1 I see that certain directories get created when
the source is compiled so maybe that is it, but I cannot get your
jc.bat to work either!

I have the unzipped croftsoft directory under my C: drive. When I
try to execute the batch file I get this:

C:\croftsoft\bin>jc *.java

C:\croftsoft\bin>javac -deprecation -d C:\croftsoft\lib -sourcepath
C:\croftsoft\src -classpath
C:\croftsoft\lib;C:\croftsoft\ext\j2ee.jar;C:\croftsoft\ext\jaxb
-api.jar;C:\croftsoft\ext\jaxb-ri.jar;C:\croftsoft\ext\jaxb-
libs.jar;C:\croftsoft\ext\javaws.jar *.java
error: cannot read: *.java
1 error

My understanding is that error refers to invalid source being in a
java file, but I could be wrong on that.

So, besides just downloading croftsoft_2003-11-09.zip and expanding
it, what else needs to be done before I can run the jc.bat file to
generate the other directories?

Thanks.
