configuring eclipse with tomcat

[Deepthi Mudidani]

Hi I have configured eclipse with tomcat using sysdeo plugin. Server is starting up properly(iam able to access the localhost:8080 page)But when i try to access a simple jsp , it says

.....
Feb 23, 2006 10:46:44 AM org.apache.jasper.compiler.AntCompiler generateClass
SEVERE: Javac exception
Unable to find a javac compiler;
com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK
......


I have set up the tomcat to point to the correct jDK
I hav jdk1.4 in c:, so the Installed JVM settings are pointing to
c:\jdk1.4\jre

Iam able to access the jsp when i start tomcat outside eclipse.
Pls help me how to solve this!!

Also when iam changing the jsp do i need to restart the server to make those changes visible?? Even after restarting those are not getting reflected!! What can be the prob?

If it works outside of Eclipse than this is more of an Eclipse configuration issue.

Moving to the IDEs forum where the IDE gurus hang out.

Deepthi,
If you type echo %JAVA_HOME% at the DOS prompt, what do you get?

Hi I got it working! I have started again by removing the plug in and placing it again and configured it. I followed the same procedure and it is working!! Still clueless about where it previously went wrong.
