The following is a quick review of the steps I took to get eclipse and tomcat up and running and playing well together. Replace "user" with your local user name. I probably opened things up a bit wide security wise. It works.
- Download the tar.gz files for linux from the respective web sites.
- gunzip the files
- tar xvf the files.
- Move Tomcat to /usr/share/tomcat
- sudo chown -R user:user tomcat
- sudo chmod -R a+rwx tomcat
- sudo chmod +x `sudo find tomcat -type d`
- Move eclipse to /opt
- sudo chown -R user:user eclipse
- sudo chmod -R a+rwx eclipse
- sudo chmod +x `sudo find eclipse -type d`
The net affect of the above is that the applications are deployed to their respective locations and the user "user" may run them. I was able to run each separately, but was having issues with eclipse trying to run tomcat. These errors were due restrictions in writing logs and deploying to tomcat directories due to permission issues. The above commands allow all users to write to these directories.
Next, you can create an executable that specifies an ECLIPSE+HOME variable:
Create an executable for eclipse in usr/bin called eclipse
- #!/bin/sh
- export ECLIPSE_HOME="/opt/eclipse"
- $ECLIPSE_HOME/ECLIPSE $*
Save the file and run clean:
/opt/eclipse/eclipse -clean
Add the two applications to the menu via System>Preferences>Main Menu.
In eclipse, add Tomcat as a server, and in the tomcat configuration, under "server Locations", choose "Use Tomcat Installation" radio button and save.
