Eclipse galileo tomcat too slow to start each time

Hi All

I have developing web applications using eclipse-jee-galileo-win32 in windows XP machine. Now i have upgraded from a XP machine to Windows 7 32 bit machine. Now my development work is getting affected. Now whenever I try to run the application from eclipse by right click on jsp ->run on server . The tomcat server 5.0 takes atleast 10 to 15 mins to start each time.

It would be great if some one could help in resolving the issue.

Thanks and Regards
Rahul

It doesn't take that long on any of my Win 7 machines.

Have you tried starting Tomcat from the command lines? If so, how long does it take there?

Also, try manually copying your WAR to the Tomcat webapps directory. Then start Tomcat. How long does that take?

Finally, have you looked at the Eclipse log (workspace/.metadata/.log) to see if it holds any clues.

Thanks a lot Peter.

As you said there was a problem with tomcat. When i mannually deployed in tomcat it didnt work. I reinstalled tomcat and not its working fine.

Rule number one when working with a Java IDE is that if something goes wrong, try to do it manually (no IDE involvement). Only after you get it working manually should you attempt to get the IDE involved again. You will have less headaches and fewer ulcers.

P.S. This does not mean that you cannot use the IDE as a glorified text editor (unless you suspect that the IDE is messing up the text!)
