I have Eclipse 3.0.1 (buildID: 200409161125) installed with myEclipse version 3.8.4 (buildID: 200501171200-3.8.4) on Mac OS X. I experience some trouble starting Tomcat 5.0.28 in debug mode.

I have configured the tomcat server as in the documentation and enabled the server. When i start tomcat from eclipse in debug-mode the loading fails with the message “Source not found for StandardContext.start(): line 4151.

This is the console output:

22-mrt-2005 23:05:49 org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol init

INFO: Processing Context configuration file URL file:/Users/chris/opt/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/conf/Catalina/localhost/admin.xml

Loading in run mode works just fine. What am i doing wrong?
Please tell me if you need more info, i’ll try to post it.

I think you are missing some console output, please paste ALL of it (what you posted makes it look like it ran fine 😉

[chris_wesdorp]

I’m sorry. This is _all_ console output. The error is raised after each xml-file. If i press run in the debug window after the message is stops at Catalina/localhost/balancer.xml. Is there another location where error’s are written?

[Riyad Kalla]

The error is raised after each xml-file.

Please explain “raised”, I don’t see any errors in your console so are you getting popup messages? Where are these errors occuring?

If i press run in the debug window after the message is stops at Catalina/localhost/balancer.xml

Do you mean “continue” in the debug view? You shouldn’t be *running* the app server except by using the app server button on the tool bar and seleting Start or Stop, the normal run buttons that are part of Eclipse have no roll in this, so when you said “click the Run button” it made me think maybe you are either not doing what I think you are doing, or you are trying to run the server incorrectly.

Is there another location where error’s are written?

You can try the Eclipse log file, it might shed some light for us: <workspace dir>\.metadata\.log

[chris_wesdorp]

with raised i mean that an editor is opened with the error i gave in my start post, the source not found… Yes, i meant continue.

I did a little search and found the solution on this thread in the last message: http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-1244-sid-eac05662be45c53882df657dbe861436.html

Wait so this was a Sysdeo Tomcat Plugin issue and not MyEclipse?

[chris_wesdorp]

I don’t no sysdeo, i only use MyEclipse as j2ee dev plugin but the error raised was exactly the same. tried the hints and it seems to work.

Ahh very strange, glad it is fixed though.
