Switch to the "Java" tab and add the following two lines into the "Java Options" field: -Djava.security.manager -Djava.security.policy==C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\conf\catalina.policy Notes: 1. Adjust the path according to your configuration 2. There are two equal signs in the second line. That is as intended.
