Installation

• This plugin does not contain Tomcat.
  (Download and install Tomcat before using this plugin).
  This was a design choice not to include Tomcat in the plugin distribution, this-the same plugin version can works with Any Tomcat Version.

• Download Tomcatpluginvxxx.zip

• Unzip it in:
  -eclipse_home/dropins for Eclipse 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6
  -eclipse_home/plugins for Eclipse 2.1, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3

• Plugin Activation for Eclipse 3.x:
  -launch Eclipse once using this option: -clean
  -if Tomcat icons is not shown in toolbar:select menu ' window>customize perspective...>commands ', and check ' TOMC At ' in ' Available command groups '

• Set Tomcat version and Tomcat home:workbench-Preferences, select Tomcat and set Tomcat version and Tomcat home (to MCAT version and Tomcat Home is the only required fields, other settings is there for advanced configuration).

• This plugin launches Tomcat using the default JRE checked in Eclipe preferences window.
  To set a JDK as default JRE for Eclipse open preference window:window, Preferences, Java, installed J Res.
  This JRE must was a JDK (this is a Tomcat prerequisite).

• The plugin sets itself Tomcat classpath and Bootclasspath. Use PREFERENCES-TOMCAT->JVM Settings, only if you need specific Settings.

Troubleshooting

• Installing plugins on Windows 7 can fail without warning, see this article for more information and Workarounds: ' Eclipse Plugin installation and Windows User Access Control '

• In some case, despite it's correctly unzipped in Eclipse 3 ' plugins ' directory, the plugin are not loaded:run Eclipse WI Th the-clean option to solve the Problem.

• ClassNotFound when using DevLoader and launching Tomcat 5.5.12 and above
  Workaround:set Context definition Mode (preferences->tomcat) to ' context files '.
  Explanations:
  This problem are due to a change in Tomcat 5.5.12 and above (seehttp://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37302,
  We hope this bug would be fix but it seems that Tomcat developers don ' t care about it because it happens when a context con Taining its own loader are defined in Server.xml file and since Tomcat 5 defining context in Server.xml are not recommended)

• ClassNotFoundException on Javac/main When accessing Jsp:tomcat are started with a JRE instead of a JDK.

• If you had a problem with the plugin check eclipse log file (<%your_workspace_dir%>/.metadata/.log)

If you had any problem and this plugin send a email to [email protected] .
(Select this BUTTON:PREFERENCES->TOMCAT->JVM settings->dump configuration to. log file, and include in your EMA Il the corresponding lines of YOUR. log file, it is in <%your_workspace_dir%>/.metadata)
