Logo Eclipse Tomcat Plugin       Codacy Badge  SourceForge  Apache License  Project of the Month

The Eclipse Tomcat Plugin provides simple integration of a Tomcat servlet container for the development of Java web applications.

This project is an actively maintained fork of the original Sysdeo Tomcat Plugin.

Features

  • Start and Stop toolbar icons
  • Debugging support
  • Easy setup

Installation

This plugin is available at the Eclipse Marketplace

Alternatively you can use the update site at https://devtools.his.de/tomcatplugin/updatesite

After the plugin was installed, please go to Window | Preferences | Tomcat and configure the path of your Tomcat installation.

Setup a development environment

  • Have a Tomcat distribution on your local machine
  • Define the classpath variable TOMCAT_HOME in your Eclipse workspace settings (Java -> Build Path -> Classpath Variables)
  • Clone the git repository
  • Import the Eclipse projects from the git clone into your Eclipse workspace
  • Create an Eclipse Application run configuration to run the Tomcatplugin (hint: the default settings activate all plugins in the workspace in the running Eclipse Application)

Screenshots

Starter

Start, stop and restart Tomcat quickly from the toolbar.
