I get this:

$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_02-b09)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_02-b09, mixed mode)

That should be fine, right?

Yeah, that was pretty much just a wild guess. Since it says "Killed"
it seems it's not a crash within Helma but an outside process that is
stopping it. As far as I know, that generally is caused by abusing
quotas of some kind.

Is using jetty via start.sh the best way to get Helma deployed on a
shared server that doesn't support tomcat?

Thanks for your input. I'll see if I can get any help from the hosting
company.
