Yesterday I was running with the following configuration:
OS: Windows XP SP2
Eclipse Version: 3.1.0
Build id: I20050627-1435
JDK 1.5.0_02
Tomcat 5.5.9
Eclipse 3.1 was freshly installed for MyEclipse, no other external plugins are installed – 0 plugins in the <eclipse>/plugins directory are like org.eclipse.pde.*

Today I installed JDK 1.5.0_04. I updated all my environment variables. Tomcat runs external to ME with the apps deployed yesterday. I updated Windows/Preferences/Java/Installed JREs, as well as Windows/Preferences/MyEclipse/AppSrvrs/Tomcat5/JDK. When I try to run Tomcat from ME, I get this in the log:

!SESSION 2005-07-29 16:26:35.78 ————————————————
eclipse.buildId=I20050627-1435
java.version=1.5.0_04
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86, WS=win32, NL=en_US
Command-line arguments: -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86

!ENTRY com.genuitec.eclipse.easie.tomcat5 1 0 2005-07-29 16:27:03.328
!MESSAGE Error starting Tomcat: Tomcat JDK name

Am I missing some configuration parameter?

When you updated the JDK in Eclipse, you likely pointed Eclipse to the ‘jre’ subdirectory, rather than at the JDK’s installation directory. You’ll need to add a full JDK, not a jre, and point Eclipse to the JDK install dir, not <install-dir>\jre. Full details on this error are in our Working with Web Projects quickstart in the Documentation section here: http://www.myeclipseide.com/images/tutorials/quickstarts/webprojects/

d’oh! It’s not like I haven’t made that mistake before. Thanks for the quick reply.
