Hi,

I am running eclipse 3.4 with apache tomcat 6.0.18 from the fedora 11
repos, and I'm pretty much stuck with that due to company policy.

I am trying to add a Tomcat server runtime, and I am trying to select
the tomcat base directory /use/share/tomcat6, however I am getting the
following error;

The Tomcat installation directory is not valid. It is missing expected
file or folder lib/servlet-api.jar (alternate name [servletapi6].jar).

None of the tomcat6 packages that are shipped with f11 actually contain
either of those files;
[tomh@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep tomcat6 | xargs rpm -ql | grep
servlet | grep jar
/usr/share/java/tomcat6/tomcat6-servlet-2.5-api-6.0.18.jar
/usr/share/java/tomcat6-servlet-2.5-api-6.0.18.jar
/usr/share/java/tomcat6-servlet-2.5-api.jar

It looks like the fedora11 packaged tomcat6 does not have the expected
file structure that the tomcat server adapter is expecting.

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Tom

This is mentioned in the Tomcat FAQ [1]. If you aren't able to download
a binary version of Tomcat 6.0.18 from the Apache site, then you can use
the following workaround.

Add the following system property to end of the eclipse.ini file or to
the startup arguments for your Eclipse.

-Dorg.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core.verify60install=lib/jas per-el.jar,lib/servlet-api.jar|[servletapi6].jar,bin/bootstr ap.jar,conf,webapps

The value shown duplicates what WTP Tomcat support is using to validate
the Tomcat6 installation. The "lib/servlet-api.jar|[servletapi6].jar"
means it expects to find "lib/servlet-api.jar" or
"lib/[servletapi6].jar". Obviously those that created the Tomcat
package changed some things from prior packages. Check in the "lib"
folder to see what the link is to tomcat6-servlet-2.5-api-6.0.18.jar and
update that "file spec" in the setting. Update any other "file specs"
that also fails.

If you can tell me what the new links are, I'll see about adding them to
the list.

Cheers,
Larry
