Hi there! Just installed my eclipse 3.8.1 and I’m trying to make simple things work here (things done with lomboz/sysdeo)

I’m trying to start tomcat 5.0 my tomcat 5 is set to the correct path, and jdk pointing to an existing functiional jre. But all the time I try to start/deploy on it I get the message:

“(…) Please verify the field with the prompt: Tomcat JDK name”

So I verified its ok, and now what?

Can someone help me here?

tomcat < 5.5.x request jdk, not jre

As snpe pointed out, the problem is subtle but straight forward. You need to setup a JDK to run Tomcat < version 5.5, 5.5 and later you need JDK 1.5 (you CAN run on 1.4 but it requires a lot of tweaking) but you can use a JRE since it includes the JDT’s compiler in it now instead of using Sun’s Javac compiler.

rkalla,
for tomcat >= 5.5 You need jdk 1.5 only for compiling server from source
for binaries iis enough jre 1.5 (can work with 1.4 with tweak) , because t 5.5 use eclipse jdt compiler

snpe, thank you for the clarificate, above when I wrote “JDK 1.5” I should have written “JRE 1.5”

Atleast you are here to keep me honest 🙂
