Have installed Eclipse R3 with latest Lomboz. Using Tomcat5. I can start
Tomcat5 via the 'startup.bat'.

However, when I try to start Tomcat5 from within the Lomboz view by right
clicking over the 'Apache TomCat 5.x' node and selecting 'Run server' I get
the following errors...

Try editing the "tomcat50x.server" file in your
"plugins\com.objectlearn.jdt.j2ee_3.0.1\servers" directory.

Within the lines:

<startVmParameters>...</startVmParameters>
<stopVmParameters>...</stopVmParameters>

remove "${serverRootDirectory}/bin;". This text should not
be included in the value for the "java.endorsed.dirs" System
property.

There is a "quirk" in commons-logging v1.0.4 (used by Tomcat 5.0.27)
where it throws NullPointerExceptions like this if
commons-logging-api.jar or commons-logging.jar is in the
system classloader, which the mistake above triggers.

HTH.

Cheers,
Larry
