nstalling Sun JDK 5.0, Eclipse WTP, Apache Tomcat 5.5, and ANT 1.6.x on Novell SuSE 10

Steps Involved:

1. Install JDK
   1. Download and install JDK RPM from Sun
   2. log in as root
   3. execute shell script to unpack binary RPM: ./jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.rpm.bin
   4. now you have an RPM you can install. You can either click on it in Konqueror or execute the following command: rpm -ivh jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.rpm
2. Download Other Software.
   1. Download Tomcat from Apache website.
   2. Download Tomcat Admin webapp from same site.
   3. Download ANT from Apache website.
   4. Download eclipse WTP all in one bundle
3. Unpack Software. I unpack ant, tomcat, and eclipse into '/usr/java', where sun unzips the JDK.

   chmod 777 /usr/java -R

   unzip apache-tomcat-5.5.15.zip -d /usr/java

   unzip apache-tomcat-5.5.15-admin.zip -d /usr/java

   unzip apache-ant-1.6.5-bin.zip -d /usr/java

   eclipse - enter these commands in sequence (is there a way to do this with one command?)

   tar xfv wtp-all-in-one-sdk-1.0-linux-gtk.tar.gz

   mv eclipse /usr/java/eclipse

4. Set Environment Variables. I like to edit /etc/bash.bashrc.local to set these.

   export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06

   export JRE_HOME=$JAVA_HOME/jre

   export CATALINA_HOME=/usr/java/apache-tomcat-5.5.17

   export ANT_HOME=/usr/java/apache-ant-1.6.5

   export ECLIPSE_HOME=/usr/java/eclipse

   export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH:$ANT_HOME/bin:$ECLIPSE_HOME/

5. Test everything by typing the following commands in a new terminal:
   1. ant
   2. javac -version
   3. eclipse
6. Setup tomcat for WTP use:
   1. Edit tomcat-users.xml. Add a username in the manager and admin role.
   2. Run:

      cd $CATALINA_HOME/bin/

      ./startup.sh

   3. Log into http://localhost:8080/manager/html to confirm there are no startup errors.
