Hi Daniel,
I guess it'll be easier for you to download tomcat from
jakarta.apache.org and unzip it in your home dir. Then you'll get a
default Tomcat installation your plug-in (which one, by the way? Sysdeo?
WebApp? Lomboz?) will be able to use and you won't have troubles with
filesystem permissions and TCP port numbers.
It will also be easier for you to download and install Sun JDK instead
of using the GCJ-based JDK that cames with Fedora. Yes, the Java
environment you get with Fedora is quite different from the one you get
with Windows, you'll take some time to learn how to use and configure
it. And some plug-ins may not work inside a GCJ-based Eclipse environment.
It looks you are mixing up native GCJ libraries and standard Java
bytecodes, that'sa why I think it'll be easier to start with Sun JDK and
a standard Tomcat download, and not using Fedora RPM packages.
Don't forget also to check your firewall settings (iptables) and SELinux
configuration. Try "iptables -F" and "setenforce 0" as root to check if
those are preventing you from connecting to Tomcat.

Hi Folks,
Has anyone gotten Eclipse and Tomcat working at all? Seems
from google that this has not been working as far as I can tell.
I started focusing on getting Tomcat to run and as far as I can
tell, out of the box, tomcat5 fails to start.
The first thing I noticed was that tomcat tries to start as a tomcat4
user -- tomcat4 on a tomcat v5.0 release? Heh! There already a
tomcat user in the /etc/password file so I changed all places where
tomcat4 user was located. In /etc/initd.d/tomcat and in
/etc/tomcat5/tomcat5.conf
Then I tried to start it again - nope it fails. It breaks because apparently
for java v1.50 which I have installed, tomcat does not even know where
to find jta.jar file. Sheesh - it looks like this file was not included because
of licensing issues? Since I had java v1.4 installed, and the jta.jar was found
at /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-..., I simply copied it to /var/lib/tomcat5/common/lib
directory and deleted the [jta].jar broken link. Then I ran /etc/init.d/tomcat5 and
now it appears to run with no errors (as far as I can tell).
Now - what port is tomcat running on so that I can see if it is running! Well, it is
not port 80 nor port 8080 (I am running apache at 80, and there is nothing at
8080)
I cannot seem to find a tomcat listener in netstat -a so I cannot tell if tomcat is running
successfully or not!?!?
Can anyone give me any pointers as to how to locate what port tomcat might be
running at?
Thanks!
Dan
