I'm running Eclipse 2.1.0 with the sysdeo Tomcat plug in, using Tomcat 4.0.
I ran into something that doesn't make sense to me, and I'm hoping that
someone has an explanation....
I'm using the java mail interface which requires the java activation
framework, so I included jars from both packages in my source and put them
in my build path for the project. Later I discovered that while I need the
activation.jar for running, I don't really need it for compiling anything so
I removed it from my build path, and I started getting ClassNotFound
exceptions when I was running Tomcat and invoking the email logic. So I
figured, hey, I need the jar in my /WEB-INF/lib and I copied it there. But
the exceptions didn't go away after stopping and starting Tomcat, etc.
Tomcat is configured to use my /build folder as the root, and WEB-INF hangs
directly under it, so I expected that Tomcat should be looking in the /lib
subdirectory there for his (or her or its) .jar files. But it didn't
work.... Yet, it's looking there for its web.xml, because if I wipe that
out, the log shows that no web.xml was found.
So, I put the activation.jar back in my build path, and the ClassNotFound
exceptions have gone away, which puzzles me. Build path should only be for
compilation, correct? Why would it impact my Tomcat runtime, and why would
the entry in the WEB-INF/lib not work?
Any suggestions appreciated...

Where do you think default classpath comes from? I don't know about Tomcat
(how it loads needed libs) but build path is what you get as default
classpath for starting debug session.

That must be it, it must be using build path because I'm running under the
debugger. I'll have to do some more digging to see how I can get it to come
from my build lib...
Thanks, Stoil.

Just in case someone else needs this info.... I contacted Bruno Leroux from
Sysdeo, and he cleared up the mystery for me. Under Window > Preferences >
Tomcat, you can add projects to classpath. When I had my project checked,
it would take the build path and not use WEB-INF/lib. Once I unchecked my
project on the "Add Java Projects to Tomcat Classpath", things worked great.
