From: Rhino on 14 Apr 2010 18:55 Can anyone advise me on the best plugin to use to integrate current versions of Tomcat and Eclipse? Several years ago when I last did servlet work, I used Sysdeo to bridge between Eclipse and Tomcat but I seem to recall that Sysdeo was gradually falling out of favour to be replaced by something else - Lomboz maybe? - so I thought I'd check to see what people are using these days. Also, can someone point me to the documentation that tells me how to set up the plugin? I seem to recall that Sysdeo was not well-documented when I first installed it and that I had quite a bit of struggling to do before I could get it to play nicely..... -- Rhino

I don't use Eclipse, but AFAIK all that stuff is integrated into Eclipse and NetBeans now. No more need for plug-ins anymore, just make a "JEE" project and go.

You have to hunt around the site a little to get a fully Java EE-enabled version, but it's there. As with NetBeans, you might have to "activate" some features post-installation. Both IDEs tend to activate features when you first call for them, but I've found it necessary sometimes to dig through the preference menus and give that a nudge. <http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/> Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers (189 MB) "Download eclipse-jee-galileo-SR2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz from:" [mirror link provided here] As for integration with Tomcat, all you have to do is use the "add server" capability to tell it where your Tomcat installation lives. -- Lew

I recommend using the WTP plugin and here's some information on that: http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_Tomcat_FAQ Or just: 1) install Eclipse IDE for Java EE developers 2) create a Server of type Tomcat 3) run -- // This is my opinion.

It took me a while to figure out but it's actually quite easy: 1. Install Eclipse, the J2EE (large) version is what I use. 2. Install Tomcat, noting the base directory. 3. Open Eclipse, close the Welcome page. 4. Navigate to the Server tab at the bottom. If you don't have one do Windows > Show Views > Others > Servers. 5. Right-click in the Servers window and click on Add Server. Navigate to the Tomcat base Directory. Click OK's. A Tomcat Icon should appear in the project pane and icons at the top. 6. Right click the Tomcat icon and click start server. You are good to go. Chris |
