Adding Apache Webserver to NB6

[fx5900]

Hi i am following this link http://wiki.netbeans.org/AddExternalTomcat
http://wiki.netbeans.org/AddExternalTomcat to add external tomcat server nb
6.0. However, when i add the location of the Catalina folder which is
C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.16 i get a red error message saying The specified
Catalina Folder is not valid. This should be correct shouldn't it??? The
only difference is that the one on the page uses 5.5. Can sombody help
please.

Do you get the message when specifying the 'Catalina Home' folder?

From
http://hg.netbeans.org/release61_fixes/file/89605a6598db/tomcat5/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/wizard/InstallPanelVisual.java
462 if (!new File(homeDir, "bin/bootstrap.jar").exists()) {
// NOI18N
463 errorMessage =
NbBundle.getMessage(InstallPanelVisual.class, "MSG_InvalidHomeDir");
464 return false;
465 }
466
467 // check the lib directory
468 File libDir = TomcatVersion.TOMCAT_60.equals(tomcatVersion)
469 ? new File(homeDir, "lib") // NOI18N
470 : new File(homeDir, "common" + File.separator +
"lib"); // NOI18N
471 if (!(libDir.exists() && libDir.isDirectory())) {
472 errorMessage =
NbBundle.getMessage(InstallPanelVisual.class, "MSG_InvalidHomeDir");
473 return false;
474 }

The tomcat plugin is checking whether the specified homedir has the file
bin/bootstrap.jar and whether lib directory exists. Can you manually
check if these conditions are indeed met in C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.16?
(One other thing: According to
http://wiki.netbeans.org/AddExternalTomcat, the directory should be
specified with a trailing "\" ; i don't think it matters but you can try
specifying 'C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.16\" in the dialog...)

regards,
karthik

Yes i do get the message when Specifying the Catalina Home folder. I do not
see the java code that you have shown me as i have yet to develop something.
If i have checked that i do have the bootstrap jar file and the lib
directory. Also, i have tried placing the "\" at the end but still no luck
. Any other ideas.
