Another -1 to add to the list. Attempted to get TomEE working with the Eclipse
WTP Tomcat plugin and found it near impossible.
I did all the things you shouldn't do (i.e. I did it the most intuitive way
which doesn't work). Once I got it working it was a bit slow. Then I noticed
I couldn't develop any Java EE stuff because the APIs weren't in the project.
I figured out how the plugin thinks and fixed all that. Long story short, you
just need to put the server's libs in <tomcat>/lib/. Did that as TOMEE-163.
Once that is done you get several benefits:
- Nothing special to do or avoid to get the Tomcat plugin to work
- All the modes work fine
- You can develop JavaEE apps without having to do any special setup (the
right libs will be in your project)
- Much faster. Server start was up over 10s now is just 2s. Much more fun to
work with this tool.
Eclipse support went from frustrating and tedious to fun and simple.
