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!

i can get everything working if i edit context.xml and .tomcatplugin files directly (using an old workspace as a template) so my problem is just that whatever i enter in the UI is being ignored.

Marc, this sounds exactly like what i am experiencing. how did you solve it? under "preferences>tomcat>source path" i have "automatically compute" and if i uncheck it and close, it gets rechecked automatically.

"update context" keeps adding "devloader" to xml

for eg the docBase is the project root dir, however the webapp exists under [project]/src/main/webapp. "apply and close" creates an incorrect context.xml and returning to the properties page shows a blank input field.

project "application root" does not persist

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.
