🙁 java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.Container
I can not get Tomcat to start in eClipse. I am using Tomcat 4.1.31. It starts fine from the command line. I don’t know where to start. Tomcat is configured correctly. The myEclipse application server is configured correctly. The projects build path is fine. What should I be looking at?

I am running:
Windows XP, Java SDK 1.4.1, EnterpriseWorkbenchInstaller_030804
eclipse-SDK-3.0.1, GEF-SDK-3.0.1, tomcatPluginV3, Jakarta-struts-1.2.4

[Riyad Kalla]

You have Sysdeo Tomcat plugin installed, and it sounds like you are configuring the MyEclipse Tomcat connector, these are two separate products, please configure the Sysdeo plugin correctly if you plan to use it.

[applebyk]

There really is nothing to configuring the Sysdeo plugin, one just installs the plugin. So I guess what you are saying is that MyEclipse conflicts with the Sysdeo plugin. I had sort of given up on MyEclipse as I could not get it to work and I could not spend any more time on it. Are there any other hidden conflicts that one should be aware of? 😕

Well you have to setup your Tomcat home directory and all that stuff… I used Sysdeo 3 for a while, that is how it was back then.

So I guess what you are saying is that MyEclipse conflicts with the Sysdeo plugin.

Not that we are aware of, a few of our users prefer it over our connector so they use it along side MyEclipse.
