Running Myeclipseide 3.7.2 and Eclipse 30m8

Using Myeclipseide to append to the tomcat classpath bombs and Tomcat can no longer find servlet.jar (which I have in C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27\common\lib)

If I set up an NTFS junction and map the classes into the WEB-INF/classes directory and remove the classes that Myeclipseide is failing to append (so nothing is appended) then everything seems to work ok but this leads to other workbench problems.

Anyone else see this?

What were you trying to originally append to the Tomcat classpath?

[BJ Hellstrom]

classes from another project. If i append them than Tomcat cant find servlet.jar. If I prepend them then Tomcat cant find classes I am prepending.

If your project relies on certain JARs, they should be placed into your WEB-INF/lib directory… maybe I’m missing something else you were trying to do?

[BJ Hellstrom]

i am debugging two projects, A and B. project A produces classes that will eventually be placed in a jar that will be used by project B. project B is a web-project that runs under Tomcat. since i am still debugging project A, i do not want to generate a new jar file every time i change any of the classes. instead, i want to append the classes from the project A to the tomcat classpath so that i can use them to debug both projects A and B.

As i mentioned, when i append the classes from project A to the Tomcat classpath, then Tomcat/MyEclipseIde can not find servlet.jar. If I prepend them then they are ignored.

We have had some troubles with the J2EE Library Set recently that we ship with MyEclipse. Can you try removing the J2EE Library set from your build path, then adding the servlet-api.jar and jsp-api.jar files from your Tomcat install? For Tomcat 4 I think the servlet one is just called servlet.jar and I forget what the JSP one is called.

After making this change, try and append your classes again to the classpath and see if that works.

This was fixed in 2.8 beta 1
