Thanks Violeta , Marek, I want to contribute to Tomcat project, therefore I want to setup the development environment and learn the internals.
For dependency management and build process I have always used Maven and Gradle, therefore Ant is kind of new to me. However I figured out what's happening after reading Violeta's reply. Thank you very much. I was able to get the application running, but still throws some exceptions. Its complaining that JspFactory is null. It may be due to the method I have setup the IDE to run/debug application using the Bootstrap class. I may not be passing some required params. Is there a guide available for the developers at the initial learning phases of the application ?? Thanks you again for your support, Best Regards, Harsha On Tue, 9 Oct 2018 at 18:30, Marek Czernek <mczer...@redhat.com> wrote: > Hi, > > What are you trying to achieve?
