/**
 * <p>General purpose wrapper for command line tools that should execute in an
 * environment with the common class loader environment set up by Catalina.
 * This should be executed from a command line script that conforms to
 * the following requirements:</p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>Passes the catalina.home system property configured with
 *     the pathname of the Tomcat installation directory.</li>
 * <li>Sets the system classpath to include bootstrap.jar and
 *     <code>$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>The command line to execute the tool looks like:

* <pre> * java -classpath $CLASSPATH org.apache.catalina.startup.Tool \ * ${options} ${classname} ${arguments} * </pre> * * <p>with the following replacement contents: * <ul> * <li>${options} - Command line options for this Tool wrapper. * The following options are supported: * <ul> * <li>-ant : Set the ant.home system property * to corresponding to the value of <code>catalina.home * (useful when your command line tool runs Ant).</li> * <li>-common : Add common/classes and * <code>common/lib * <li>-server : Add server/classes and * <code>server/lib to the class loader repositories. * <li>-shared : Add shared/classes and * <code>shared/lib to the class loader repositories. * </ul> * <li>${classname} - Fully qualified Java class name of the * application's main class.</li> * <li>${arguments} - Command line arguments to be passed to * the application's <code>main() method. * </ul> * * @author Craig R.
