apache tomcat 9.x not working with eclipse & Java

Question

I've installed apache-tomcat-9.0.7 on my windows machine and have following environment configurations:

echo %JAVA_HOME%

C:\Program Files\Java\ jdk-10.0.1

---

echo %JRE_HOME%

C:\Program Files\Java\ jre-10.0.1

---

OS : Windows 8 64-bit

---

Eclipse Version: Oxygen.3a Release (4.7.3a)

---

Whenever I run catlina.bat start from cmd, server runs fine on localhost But I'm not able to get the server instance up from eclipse's server configuration.

1. Defined a new server in eclipse and added apache-tomact 9.0 instance

2. Upon clicking on start server , I get the following error:

   -Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\Softwares\apache-tomcat-9.0.7\endorsed is not supported. Endorsed standards and standalone APIs in modular form will be supported via the concept of upgradeable modules.

Any solution for this issue ?

Answer 2

You need an update that isn't on the main Oxygen site. Add http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/oxygen/ as a URL in your Available Software Sites preference page and then check for updates from the Help menu.

Edit: this fix will be properly included in the Photon (WTP 3.10) release later this month.
