#35 can't run tomcat - could not create jvm

[paul stanton]

I have installed the plugin via the market place, have run tomcat via startup.bat externally but when i start via the plugin i get an error dialog (see attached) and the console shows:

-Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\programs\apache-tomcat-8.5.23-win64\endorsed is not supported. Endorsed standards and standalone APIs
in modular form will be supported via the concept of upgradeable modules.

Eclipse Tomcat management feature v 9.1.2
Jdk 9.0.1
eclipse Oxygen.1a Release (4.7.1a)

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=507338 looks like a very similar problem.

the folder/file C:\programs\apache-tomcat-8.5.23-win64\endorsed does not even exist! is the plugin creating the system property behind the scenes?

this issue should be retitled - does not support Java 9. Installing and running with Java 8 solved it for me. it would be good if some compatability details/versions were in the readme. cheers.

[paul stanton]

is there a step by step installation instruction? I only found out by trawling these issues that i still needed to put devloader.jar in tomcat .. i was assuming the new version did everything for me since there are no instructions on the market place page!

Let me know if there is a solution for java 9 for the plugin. I(ve got the same problem with Apache Tomcat 9.0. I'm going to try with Java 8.
