Registering Apache Tomcat in NetBeans 6.0

Hi all,

NetBeans 6.0 is an ever-changing IDE. Well, I guess most IDEs in development are. Just a few days ago, I wrote a blog entry about how to locate the user and password information for the Tomcat server. Now, it seems, there is an easier way of doing this in NetBeans 6.0. When you register the server in the IDE, you enter the username and password in the Add Server Instance dialog box. How do you get there? Just do the following:

1. Make sure the focus is on the Services window.
2. Right-click the Servers node and choose Add Server.
   The Add Server Instance dialog box opens.

   I've downloaded Apache Tomcat 6.

I browse for the Tomcat installation folder. Then I enter the username and password I want.

Then I sit back and marvel at how easy and fast it was to do this. The Services window already shows Tomcat.

That's all there it to it. Of course, if you get stuck, you can always read the Help.

See you soon!
