Hi,
i am using Tomcat 5.0, Eclipse 3.0.1, and MyEclipse 3.8.4.
I configured Tomcat as follow:
```
Home Dir: E:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0
Base Dir: E:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0
Temp Dir: E:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\temp
JDK:
jdk1.4
optional
-Dcatalina.home=E:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=E:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\common\endorsed
-Djava.io.tmpdir=E:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0
Launch: Debug mode
```
When starting Tomcat through Eclipse i get 2 errors.
First is
```
Could not find the main class. Program will exit. 
```
Second is
```
A configuration error occurred during startup . Please verify the preference field with the prompt: java.langNoClassDefFoundError: Software
```
Starting Eclipse externally works fine.

thx

What happens when you get rid of all the optional flags? You shouldn’t need to set any of them…

Can’nt believe it was that simple! It worked!

I thought i would have to use the Same params that Tomcat uses in its service manager. I deleted them all, as you told me, and Tomcat started perfectly.

Thanks alot!
