If I start by installing the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (85 MB) (Ganymede). What plugins do I need to install in order to be able to:
- See the Server tab and the ability to add my Tomcat 6 installation.
- Be able to create a dynamic web project that I can connect to my server.
- I want to be able to start and stop the server.
- See the output from the Stdout server on the Console tab.
- Debugging the application on the server.
I want to install as little as possible, as long as I can do the above things, I am more than satisfied.
Moreover, I have problems with the full Web Tools Platform (WTP); According to me, full of validation errors. Sometimes they say that valid files are invalid, often it helps if you just restart Eclipse. I also found that it ignores exceptions, and sometimes completely ignores the fact that I turned off checking all together.
The problems that I encountered made me uninterested in anything from the WTP project, except for plugins that allowed me to work more smoothly by performing the aforementioned unordered list (since this part of WTP worked very well).
I heard that some of them were successful with the Sysdeo Eclipse Tomcat Launcher Plug-in along with Ganymede. But since it is not officially supported, and since May 2007 there was no new version, and launching it from Ganymede included changing the connected files to accept the versions> = 3.4, I do not consider it as a long-term solution.
Installation of WTP parts , but , rather than in general , similar to a long-term solution, at the same time a missed error of the VTP part. But I need help with which I need to install the details, as the documentation on Eclipse.org does not explain. Of course, if there is another supported solution than using parts of WTP, this is interesting too!
