I am trying to configure Eclipse 3.2 with Tomcat 5.5.17 and Java
jdk1.5.0_08.
In Tomcat 4.x days, I could set up a run configuration and have it run
using Eclipse's run interface. I am trying to duplicate the process for
5.5.17, but am having difficulty. First off, I have tried searching
Google and everything points to the com.sysdeo.eclipse.tomcat_3.0.0
plugin. I really would rather avoid that plug-in and use my own
configuration.
Here are the steps I have taken:
First, JAVA_HOME is set.
Next, I have a project that has the Bootstrap.jar on the classpath.
I open up a debug configuration and set the main class to
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap
In the program arguments, I have
start
In the VM Arguments I have
-Djava.endorsed.dirs="<<Tomcat Root>>\common\endorsed"
-Dcatalina.home="<<Tomcat Root>>"
-Dcatalina.base="<<App Dir>>"
-Djava.io.tmpdir="<<Temp Dir>>"
On the classpath tab of the debug configuration, I have
Bootstrap Entries:
JRE
bootstrap.jar
tools.jar
commons-logging-api.jar
User Entries:
Project (default classpath)
When I run it, I get an exception:
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

I assume I am missing something from my classpath. Does anyone know
what it is?
