I think it may be a classpath issue, don’t know.
I can’t start tomcat from the MyEclipse IDE, I get the following message.

This release of Apache Tomcat was packaged to run on J2SE 5.0
or later. It can be run on earlier JVMs by downloading and
installing a compatibility package from the Apache Tomcat
binary download page.

I checked my version java -version it’s 1.5.0_06

positive it’s a simple problem I just don’t see it.
I can start tomcat as a service but not from inside the IDE, deployment works fine, but you can’t really debug as the documentation states.
Sorry for the overkill of info below.

first time note in this forum

Running Windows XP
Apache Tomcat 5.5.4 Server
ECLIPSE 3.1.0
MyEclipse 4.0.0

Go to your Tomcat 5 connectors settings in MyEclipse, go to the JDK tab and just make sure that you have configured AND setup your Java 5 JDK (not JRE) to run Tomcat 5 with. Then you should stop getting that error.

Thanks that was the case.
