root cause
Hi,

I am running eclipse 3.1 and Tomcat 5.0.28. I have WTP plugin for
eclipse.

Whenever I try to run the application through eclipse on server I get
the folowing error. Could someone help me out.

Unable to find a javac compiler;
com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK
