Mystery of Vanishing Sysdeo Tomcat Plugin for Eclipse

Hi ppl,
initially i dint understand how/where to execute “java -jar startup.jar -clean”. I finally fixed the issue by editing the eclipse.ini file.

Added -clean as one of the options did the trick for me

sorry for not specify clearly, i’m using eclipse3.2 running with apache tomcat 5.5 on windows, i’m trying to run simple jsp file..but the error give:

cannot publish to the server because it is missing its runtime.

i did set up an env.variable

Thanks Angsuman, your solution helped me too…

Inspite of using java -jar startup.jar -clean
i m getting this error
This release of Apache Tomcat was packaged to run on J2SE 5.0
or later. It can be run on earlier JVMs by downloading and
installing a compatibility package from the Apache Tomcat
binary download page

I installed eclipse 3.0 ,Tomcat 5.0.28 , j2sd 1.4.1

[...] Solution to Tomcat 5.5 (Windows Executable) not showing up in Eclipse 3.1 with Sysdeo beta plugin. Run eclipse once from command line as shown below: java -jar startup.jar -clean [...]

It cleans up the plugin information from Eclipse IDE. Eclipse re-reads the information from a clean state.

Thanks a lot for this solution

Do you have any idea of what this command does?

It’s just for information!
