I’ve been using Mongrel to launch Tomcat in one click from Eclipse. In Neon, this stopped working. I learned in a comment on that blog post that there’s now a plugin called “Eclipse Tomcat Plugin 9.1.0” that does the same thing. It is advertised as being a successor to Sysdeo. And it is. But so was Mongrel. However, it works in Neon and does the same thing as Sysdeo/Mongrel so it is logically a successor to both!
The process was easy to get going:
- Uninstall Mongrel
- Restart Eclipse
- Install Eclipse Tomcat Plugin 9.1.0
- Restart Eclipse
- Preferences
- Tomcat – choose version of Tomcat path and Tomcat home
That’s it!
