I just want to make a test servlet and run it, I'm not looking to make
some big package or anything. I've looked at the documentation for the
EE and to just run their test package, you need ant or some other IDE. I
just want to compile 1 test class. Can I just do that? If so, how?

You don't need ant or an ide to compile a servlet. You just need to get the
classpath right.

Take a look at tomcat and it's examples.

Okay, let me ask the question in a different way then.

In Standard edition, you can compile a class using javac and then it
generates a class file. I would like to do the same thing using j2EE
only, without tomcat or some other server being involved. Just j2ee and
a command line. I'm not worried about deployment, just the compiling
itself. (Yes, I am aware that without deployment, no one will see it.)
So if it is a classpath issue, like you say, I'm unsure what classpath
will point the j2ee so I can compile a test servlet.
