TextWrangler is a nice, free text editor for Mac that supports a few 
programming languages 
also.

NetBeans and Eclipse are heavyweight IDEs and both require that you create a
project before you can edit any files. They aren't very convenient for just
editing random text files. If you're comfortable with the command line there
are vi, emacs, joe, nano, and others. If you're accustomed to graphical
tools, TextMate is good, but it's $60. There are probably free ones
available.

It's kind of weird that Macs don't come with a normal GUI text editor.

I can't speak for the OP, but as a long time Mac user, I know TextEdit's 
default output is richtext.  It's a really annoying behavior of 
TextEdit.  The OP should use either vi (if they're brave or have 
experience in it) or a developer IDE like NetBeans or Eclipse to write 
the initial file.  After that I believe TextEdit can be used and will 
leave the file as text on future saves.

The startup_tomcat file is a shell script which is setting the 
following environment variables


JAVA_HOME   - where you have installed our java sdk
JRE_HOME - the java runtime
CATALINA_HOME - the location of your tomcat files

You can set these 'by hand' by typing the lines in at the command 
line. Its better to set them in the .bashrc file.


Hope that helps

Or you could just try starting the script from the tomcat install dir:

 tar -zxvf tomcat-n.m.tar.gz
 cd tomcat-n.m
 sh bin/startup.sh

worked for me, on Tiger and Leopard, with no extra effort.

if you need to customise the startup environment, add a script called 
"setenv.sh" to the bin dir and add your environment variables in that, 
(as the startup scripts check for it), rather than elsewhere.

Not sure why you'd use that instead of the real docs, and there's
no reason I can imagine to write a startup script to call an existing
startup script, but whatever...  :-)

Use a real text editor, or make sure you save your file as text, not
RTF or whatever the heck that is...
