Problems with Eclipse and MyEclipse

[Eric]

Hello, I write to ask if somebody knows the way to configurate MyEclipse with Tomcat 5, to execute Servlets and JSPs altogether, but in addition takes into a Java Project (with Classes, Beans, Exceptions).

In the first place you must observe that the versions are compatible.

The eclipse that I recommend to you is 3.1.2 version download it, and then configure the JRE. (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5 .0_01 \ jre), it must be the same one of the tomcat (I used jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9.exe version), is configured when tomcat5 installs. Finally you must construct build.xml and do deploy…

this is an example

Code:

<project name="out0" basedir="../" default="copywar"> 
 
    <!-- Project settings --> 
    <property name="project.distname" value="out0"/> 
 
 
    <!-- Local system paths --> 
    <property file="${basedir}/ant/build.properties"/> 
    <property name="webroot.dir" value="${basedir}/WebContent"/> 
    <property name="webinf.dir" value="${webroot.dir}/WEB-INF"/> 
    <property name="build.dir" value="build"/> 
 
    <!-- classpath for JSF 1.0 --> 
    <path id="compile.classpath"> 
        <pathelement path ="${webinf.dir}/lib/commons-beanutils.jar"/> 
        <pathelement path ="${webinf.dir}/lib/commons-collections.jar"/> 
        <pathelement path ="${webinf.dir}/lib/commons-digester.jar"/> 
        <pathelement path ="${webinf.dir}/lib/commons-logging.jar"/> 
        <pathelement path ="${webinf.dir}/lib/jsf-api.jar"/> 
        <pathelement path ="${webinf.dir}/lib/jsf-impl.jar"/> 
        <pathelement path ="${webinf.dir}/lib/jstl.jar"/> 
        <pathelement path ="${webinf.dir}/lib/standard.jar"/> 
        <pathelement path ="${webinf.dir}/classes"/> 
        <pathelement path ="${classpath.external}"/> 
        <pathelement path ="${classpath}"/> 
    </path> 
 
    <!-- define your folder for deployment --> 
    <property name="deploy.dir" value="deploy"/> 
 
 
    <!-- Local system paths --> 
    <property file="${basedir}/ant/build.properties"/> 
    <property name="webroot.dir" value="${basedir}/WebContent"/> 
    <property name="webinf.dir" value="${webroot.dir}/WEB-INF"/> 
    <property name="build.dir" value="build"/> 
 
    <!-- Check timestamp on files --> 
    <target name="prepare"> 
        <tstamp/>

    </target> 
 
    <!-- Normal build of application --> 
    <target name="compile" depends="prepare,resources"> 
        <javac srcdir="JavaSource" destdir="${webinf.dir}/classes">
