I have recently installed Eclipse platform 3.1.0 and MyEclipse_Enterprise_Workbench_v3.8.2.
Ok, so these two releases aren’t compatible at all. If you wish to use Eclipse 3.1M4 (not M5) then you can download MyEclipse 3.8.4 Beta from our “Eclipse 3.1” Section of the site.
This web project is tied to jdk1.3.1 and tomcat v3.2.2.
You won’t be able to debug with this setup. MyEclipse requires that the app server you are debugging against supports the JSR 45 spec. Please upgrade to Tomcat 5 and JDK 1.4.
Is there anyway I could configure it to run tomcat v3.2.2? Is there a plug in?
MyEclipse does not support Tomcat 3, but you might try the Sysdeo Tomcat Plugin.
Is there any way McEclipse could use this build.xml to compile and deloy?
No
If not, could I run build.xml the old way,
Sure, if it is just an Ant script, go ahead and run it.
The thing is I would like to use MyEclipse’s debugging function
As mentioned above, your current setup will not allow you to debug.
