This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Use 'javac' parameter for catalina.sh - it adds "$JAVA_HOME"/lib/tools.jar to classpath.
Otherwise web modules won't work on linux/unix because there's no tools.jar on classpath which is neccesary for bundled Tomcat in NetBeans (because we use javac instead jdt). In 4.1 we have tweaked catalina.sh which will not work after next Tomcat upgrade (therefore changing to bug for 4.2). See Tomcat bug http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33522 for more details.
should be fixed for 4.2.
changing to task, since this is not actually a defect, there is no user impact starting the catalina.sh script with the javac parameter does not work, so apache guys must fix it first
We are tweaking setclasspath.sh - commenting if in: #if [ "$1" = "debug" -o "$1" = "javac" ] ; then CLASSPATH="$JAVA_HOME"/lib/tools.jar #fi
Created attachment 24873 [details] Error page when the tweak is not applied to bundled Tomcat
TM 5.0->TBD
We do not bundle tomcat anymore, so I believe this is is not valid anymore.
