My development team has several new members. While we’re waiting for the people who handle our licensing to get them MyEclipse licenses we want them to be productive. However, we’ve run into a problem with MyEclipse and Tomcat.

It seems that MyEclipse won’t start Tomcat 4.1.27 for some of our developers. I checked the logs for the two developers and found the following stack-traces:

It appears that MyEclipse won’t run Tomcat unless it’s licensed. Is this correct?

Is there anything I can do to get them productive now while we’re waiting for licenses to come through?!?

Thanks,

Terry,
We are sorry you are seeing this problem, but MyEclipse will run fully functional for 30days without a commercial license so you *shouldn’t* be seeing this. Can you fill out the questions in the Posting Guidelines so we get a better idea of what versions of software you are running, what OSes, what JDKs, etc. etc.

Hopefully we can nail this down for you today so they can get working.

Well, I just figured out what we’d done. I love how that always happens 10 minutes after you post on a board for help after you’ve been staring at it for 2 days…

The problems had to do with the JDK we were running Eclipse on. Our project has to run on WebSphere 4 w/ IBM 1.3.1 JDK but we develop using Tomcat 4. We told our new people to use the IBM 1.3.1 JDK but didn’t specify to use it for just the Tomcat instance.

We switched Eclipse to use the latest Sun JDK and now it works.

Thanks for all the help!
