Setting up dev environment

[Harsha Suranjith Amarasiri <ha...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I need to set up tomcat development environment on Intellij Idea running on
Windows 10 - 64 bit OS.

I have searched, searched and searched and I cannot find a resource that
will help me accomplish that. Also is there  a developer quickstart for
tomcat project ?
It would be massively helpful for me to get started.

Thank you very much.


Regards,

Harsha Amarasiri

Thanks Violeta , Marek,

I want to contribute to Tomcat project, therefore I want to setup the
development environment and learn the internals.

For dependency management and build process I have always used Maven and
Gradle,
therefore Ant is kind of new to me. However I figured out what's happening
after reading Violeta's reply. Thank you very much.

I was able to get the application running, but still throws
some exceptions. Its complaining that JspFactory is null.
It may be due to the method I have setup the IDE to run/debug application
using the Bootstrap class.
I may not be passing some required params.

Is there a guide available for the developers at the initial learning
phases of the application ??

Thanks you again for your support,

Best Regards,

Harsha

Hi,

What are you trying to achieve? If you want to develop Tomcat source 
code, i.e. debug/develop code that will be a part of the Tomcat code 
base, then as Violeta suggested, you could use the ant command (or 
simply import Tomcat source code into Idea and build/run the code via 
command line).

If you want to develop apps for Tomcat, then you don't need Tomcat's 
source code. In such a case, you'll be better served by searching for 
specific technology, for example getting started with Servlets, and 
using Tomcat as the container for your code.

Try with this ant target

ant ide-intellij

When you need to see all ant targets you can execute

ant -p
