Tomcat can be downloaded from http://tomcat.apache.org/. ![]() Next, go to Windows → Preferences, then JavaSW → Build Path → ClasspathW Variables. Create a new classpathW variable called CATALINA_HOME, and set it to your Tomcat directory. Click OK when done. Say OK if EclipseSW wishes to rebuild projects. ![]() Our project needs to be able to see the classes in the Tomcat jarW files, so we need to add the jar files to the project classpath. Right-click the project and go to Properties. ![]() Select Java Build Path on the left and click the Libraries tab. Click the Add Variable... button. In the New Variable Classpath Entry window that pops up, select CATALINA_HOME and then click the Extend... button. ![]() Let's add all of the jar files to the classpath that are under CATALINA_HOME/bin, CATALINA_HOME/common/lib, and CATALINA/server/lib.
