RE: css-validator.jar build problem

Well it was nice job finally building the css-validator.jar [and btw I
had to throw apache-commons-lang.jar into the prereq mix also], but the
thing still doesn't work.

In fact, it gives exactly the same result when you use the binary
css-validator.jar (I tried that a few days ago too ;) download linked on
the install page, as when you use the jar you build with ant.

From the command line: 

[root@io-dev23 opt]# java -jar css-validator.jar http://www.w3.org/
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/w3c/tools/resources/ProtocolException
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:

Could not find the main class: org.w3c.css.css.CssValidator. Program
will exit.

... and from a browser, the initial display is fine (I renamed
validator.html.en to index.htm, which should not cause a problem), but
you  get a 500 error from the validator.uri?xxxxx, with the following
helpful [?] stuff in the tomcat log:

===============================================================

Does any of the above ring any bells with anyone? Shall I try building
again with netbeans or more/other jars also, or specify stuff in the
build.xml like Damien said?

Thanks for your comments,

AD.
