The Tomcat Plugin is an IDE module that handles integration with Tomcat servers.
There is a Tomcat web server named Internal Tomcat that is installed with the IDE. The internal Tomcat server is pre-configured to work with the plugin. The Tomcat server implements the JavaServer Pages 1.2 and Servlet 2.3 specifications and includes many features that are useful in the deployment of web modules and web module groups.
You can also configure the Tomcat plugin to integrate with Tomcat 4.0 servers that are installed on your machine. See Adding a Tomcat 4.0 Installation.
To see the Tomcat server installations that are managed by the Tomcat Plugin, click the Runtime tab in the Explorer, expand Server Registry, expand Installed Servers, and expand the Tomcat node.
You can perform the following tasks on Tomcat web servers that are registered with the Tomcat plugin:
Set properties for installations of the server
Create instances of the server and set properties for instances
Create contexts and set properties for contexts
Start, restart, and stop the server
Set an instance of Tomcat as the default server
Edit the configuration file for the server
