[moneydance] JAVA Issue: I need help

[John W. Foster]

Thanks Sean & Don!!!
The problem was easily solved with your assistance. I had installed the gcj 
tools after I installed the sun-java packages. The gcj tools were a 
dependency for the tomcat servlet that was installed with apache2. In the 
past these were all compatible & caused no issue. I will file a bug report 
with the debian developer of tomcat & gcj to try to get this issue resolved. 
At any rate I now have my banking running fine. Have a great day guys!!
