NetBeans And System Tomcat

Posted by fordfrog | Filed under Programming

At this moment, NetBeans and Tomcat does not work together with each other in Gentoo out of the box. You need to do minor tweak to make it work, but it’s really easy:

# adds user to tomcat group
gpasswd -a user tomcat
# NetBeans expects conf directory in Catalina home
ln -s /etc/tomcat-6/ /usr/share/tomcat-6/conf
# if you want NetBeans to create manager account, you need this
chmod g+w /etc/tomcat-6/tomcat-users.xml

You might need to relogin/restart after gpasswd to get the new user group applied to your user in your desktop environment.
