Mark,

The jaxws build.xml file does not set classpath for javac, so you are 
getting the default classpath set by Ant. Since jaxws does not set the 
classpath, I would presume that jaxws does not depend on anything in 
tools.jar. Do you know if that is the case or not?  If it does depend on 
stuff in tools.jar, it ought to consider setting the classpath 
explicitly to include any necessary classes coming from langtools.

What is the failure you are seeing?
