I HAVE gotten Eclipse / Tomcat to "work" but it is MANUAL at this time because apparently this is caused by Eclipse itself (and not necessarily by Fedora port because I tried the Eclipse version directly and the problem is the same) but it appears that somehow the WTP tomcat plugins are not finding, translating, copying the files over properly to the .metadata and Servers locations properly for which Tomcat needs before it can even start. Specifically: Servers tomcat v5.5 Server @ localhost-config <<< missing required files >>> And in the .metadata tree is missing: .metadata .plugins org.eclipse.wst.server.core tmp0 <<<< sometimes directories here get messed up >>> webapps <<< missing or corrupted files >>> So basically - the plug-ins are not able to locate the needed files to properly construct the base files for which Tomcat can proceed. Since I have been using Eclipse for awhile on Windows, I was able to compare Windows against Fedora and copied files and updated to the proper locations, I was able to get the Linux Eclipse to run and display my JSP application. But the minute that I attempt to run the 'Run As' and (re-)assign the Tomcat to the JSP application - it removes my manual changes and craps out. So the manual fix is repeated. Makes for painful development here :-)) Currently, there is no activity in the Fedora-Java group and it must be due to Xmas/New Years vacation week. Anyway - I *could* get the Eclipse sources and try to putter around myself but it would take too long for me to even get started so I am procrastinating figuring that the *professionals* resolve this long before I do :-() Kind regards, Dan -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
