This will be used for compiling AppFuse or Struts-Resume (XDoclet requires javax.ejb.* and javax.servlet.* in the classpath when building). ''NOTE: Step 2 is not needed for AppFuse 1.5 and newer''

# Download the [latest Tomcat release|http://jakarta.apache.org/site/binindex.cgi] from [http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat]. At the time of this writing, it's [4.1.29|http://www.oss.redundant.com/pub/apache/jakarta/tomcat-4/v4.1.29/]. __DON'T__ get the LE version or you'll have to add DBCP (database connection pool) and JavaMail (for e-mail) JARs.

AppFuse should work with 1.5 if you'd like to use that. Here's [my experience|http://raibledesigns.com/page/rd?anchor=playing_with_jdk_5_0]. Note that Cactus has been removed from AppFuse in 1.6 and Cargo (used for testing JSPs) doesn't work with Tomcat 5.5.x yet.

# Download the [latest Tomcat release|http://jakarta.apache.org/site/binindex.cgi] from [http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat]. At the time of this writing, it's [5.0.28|http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/tomcat-5/v5.0.28/]. __DON'T__ get the LE version or you'll have to add DBCP (database connection pool) and JavaMail (for e-mail) JARs.

* I use [Eclipse|http://www.eclipse.org] on Windows for editing .java files. I install it in %TOOLS_HOME%\eclipse. I still use Ant to build and deploy, but the CVS versions of AppFuse and StrutsResume does contain the .classpath and .project files for Eclipse. Additionally, AppFuse has project files for [Intellij's IDEA|http://www.intellij.com] (version 3.0.5). To see how you can run Ant in Eclipse, check out my [AppFuse with Eclipse HowTo|AppFuseEclipse].
