Looks like you're pre-compiling the example Web applications:

Early on, you have this about the Sun tools.jar, which may be
significant:

For reference, I have a stand-alone Jasper2 build target that just
compiles JSP pages to validate them. The dependencies in the task
definition are these for a Sun runtime:
<pathelement location="${java.home}/lib/tools.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${tomcat.home}/common/lib/commons-el.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${tomcat.home}/common/lib/jasper-
compiler.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${tomcat.home}/common/lib/jasper-runtime.jar"/>
The GNU implementation of the JSTL expression language is in
javax.servlet.jsp.el. This may be a problem if it has priorty over
the Jakarta commons version perhaps.
I have yet to upgrade to FC4, I'm lurking to glean others' experience
with Tomcat installation. Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Phil
