[cobalt-developers] Java Dev Kit / Tomcat - "reinstall" required

[mel <mel.bodfish@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

I installed the Java Dev Kit pkg with the Update pkg.
Java and Tomcat ran OK.

I wished to introduce a new CLASSPATH entry and modified java.sh and
rebooted. THIS WAS A BAD IDEA. Tomcat would not start afterwards, it
kept hanging on a "lopen" function. A simple change back to the original
java.sh, and a reboot would not clear the problem.

So, could only get into system with Telnet, and performed the manual's
"Disabling the Tomcat engine" procedures. All OK.

My change to java.sh, must have caused a secondary problem.

To get a working system, I believe I need to reinstall Tomcat. On trying
this the Install program said "already installed".

Can anyone help pls with advice - Do I need to do a manual "uninstall"
or is an "uninstall' in development?

Many thanks
