Well the plot thickens.
I now have a tomcat that at least installs. But when I try to run it there
are complaints about non-existant errors - at least I know they do not exist
in some cases.
I tried installing one of my WAR files from the JWSDP system, and in the
log there were complaints about "--" in comments in c.tld. As far as I can
see (and as far as my the eclipse editor can find) the string -- does not
exist in /WEB-INF/c.tld. So I looked a bit further back only to discover that
the same complaint is being logged about /WEB-INF/jsp/debug-taglib.tld in
the examples application. Again I have looked at this file, and apart from
the --> that closes the two comments in this file there is no other occurence
of the string -- to be found.
