Apache+jakarta-tomcat+jakarta-velocity in debian3.0

[damar thapa <damar@netvigator.com>]

Hi,

I have setup Apache and tomcat on debian3.0, now I would like to add 
jakarta-velocity on that.

But, everytime, I try to compile velocity with ant, I get the following 
error messages:

env:
   [echo] java.home = /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1/jre
   [echo] user.home = /root
   [echo] java.class.path = 
/usr/local/ant/lib/xml-apis.jar:/usr/local/ant/lib/xercesImpl.

/velocity-1.3.jar:/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/loca
l/j2sdk1.4.1/lib/tools.jar

Since I could not compile 'tomcat-connetors' as well with 'ant', it may 
be 'ant' problem.  Is there any debian special process I should follow 
to setup ant?  Has any one on the list setup velocity under debian3.0?

Any pointers would be highly appreciated.
