Doing so results in tomcat failing to start:

Using CATALINA_BASE:   /var/lib/tomcat4
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/share/tomcat4
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /var/lib/tomcat4/temp
Using JAVA_HOME:       /usr/lib/kaffe
Using Security Manager
Internal error: caught an unexpected exception.
Please check your CLASSPATH and your installation.
java/lang/ExceptionInInitializerError
   at java.lang.ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader (ClassLoader.java:776)

(it does not matter if I disable the Security Manager, this is using the
backported kaffe 1.1.6 which ran fine with its own rt.jar and Security
Manager enabled)


Regards,

Filip
