Hi Chris, Make sure to check out Larry's post - he picked up that a different plug-in may be being used in the original post.
The sysdeo plugin has something similar in its config: they're doc: http://www.eclipsetotale.com/articles/tomcat/tomcatPluginDocFR.html (Its in french but using google to translate it looks like it has something similar under configuration step #3) It depends on what you are coding/testing... If you only need the web-apps you are working on to be running on that box; and its your local laptop/dev box I would likely leave it at default. (not to modify the tomcat install) If you'd like to run the app you are coding along side other applications (that aren't in your eclipse workspace) I'd pick use tomcat installation.... It really depends on what you are trying to accomplish and your env. -Mike ----- Original Message ---- > From: Chris Lenart <clen...@comcast.net> > To: Tomcat Users List <users@tomcat.apache.org> > Sent: Friday, May 8, 2009 1:49:16 PM > Subject: RE: Tomcat Configuration in Eclipse > > Mike, > > What would you do if you want to get it working so you can code and > test? > > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Altieri [mailto:mca...@yahoo.com] > Sent: Friday, May 08, 2009 11:12 AM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Re: Tomcat Configuration in Eclipse > > > > Hi Ados, > > Ognjen is right; the default setting in the eclipse plugin for tomcat6 > is to use the workspace metadata; this way when you start tomcat from > eclipse only the projects you have deployed on it inside of eclipse will > be the running apps. > > If you want you can alter this setting by double clicking on the server; > and when the serve config opens look under 'Server Locations' ; if you > choose the 'use tomcat installation' then all the apps that are > installed in your server should also start when you start the server > inside of eclipse. > > This may or may not be desirable depending on your environment's needs. > > Good Luck! > > -Mike > > > > ----- Original Message ---- > > From: "ados1...@gmail.com" > > To: Tomcat Users List > > Sent: Friday, May 8, 2009 11:17:02 AM > > Subject: Re: Tomcat Configuration in Eclipse > > > > I am stuck on same issue.
