provided by SuSE Linux 9.3

Any hints ?
How does the wizard determine a so called "valid" tomcat installation ?

The Tomcat support expects the Tomcat installation to be under a single
install directory, like what is found the tar.gz binary distributions
that can be downloaded from Apache Jakarta. I assume the problem is
that the Tomcat installation appears under multiple directories.

If you identify your directory structure, I may be able to suggest how
to trick the Tomcat support in to accepting that structure. You are
also welcome to file an enhancement request in the Bug database.

Cheers,
Larry

the directory structure look like this:
/usr/share/tomcat5/
bin
common
conf -> /srv/www/tomcat5/base/conf
logs -> /srv/www/tomcat5/base/logs
server
shared
temp -> /srv/www/tomcat5/base/temp
webapps -> /srv/www/tomcat5/base/webapps
work -> /srv/www/tomcat5/base/work

You are right, after installing a Tomcat .tar.gz binary distribution from
the Apache Jakarta Page everything works fine.

Thanks,
Joerg

This is probably the reason. But in most distros (most means Debian is
this case ;) Tomcat installation is divided into multiple locations.

I don't have a *nix system to play with at the moment, so I can't say
exactly why the symlinks aren't being accepted. I'll see what I can
find out. I don't know of a reason not to try to make this work.

Cheers,
Larry

Hmm, the directory structure doesn't seem to be the problems cause.
Using a SuSE Linux 9.1 installation where the tomcat directory structure is
identically the wizard does his job as expected.

Me too. Only I just installed in W2K according to
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drops/S-1.0M5 -200506302219/
eclipse-SDK-3.1-win32.zip
emf-sdo-xsd-SDK-I200506230200.zip
GEF-SDK-3.1RC4.zip
JEM-SDK-I20050623.zip
wtp-1.0M5.zip.part
wtp-wst-1.0M5.zip

I have Tomcat 5.5.4 (tho the dir name says 5.0), the dir listing is
below. This Tomcat installation worked well with M4.
Please send me a hint, I'm stopped.
TIA

When I used E:\tomcat instead of E:\Tomcat 5.0 the error didn't show.
It's bug, because E:\Tomcat 5.0 is valid locatios. The default install
is C:\program ...\Tomcat 5.0 and I'm sure it will also fail.
Entering "E:\Tomcat 5.0" (with quotes) also failed.

Does the layout of your Tomcat 5.0 directory differ from the layout
in the .zip/.tar files provided by Apache?

Tomcat 5.0 came along with my Fedora Core 4 installation. Actually all
folders are there in /usr/share/tomcat5 as in the tar.gz. the only
difference is that almost all of the directories are symbolic links.

I did a fresh install with tomcat 5.5 and now it works. So the problem
seems be related to the symbolic links.

Is this behaviour wanted?
