Great. But you have no guarantee it will behave the same way as Tomcat
built with the standard build script. It should be the same but be
prepared for some odd, unexpected errors - probably around classloader
issues.
This is true but it makes it so easy to watch Tomcat working and play with
it... its worth the risk I think... after all its just for experimentation
and who knows if the users find it easy, worthy contributions to tomcat must
follow... like this for example, I think the way bootstrap classloads in
6.0.X is overly complex and now redundant. See what happens when a user
starts playing with the code, cool hey.

inside.
You can do this with the standard build. Both Eclispe and NetBeans
support this. see http://tomcat.apache.org/faq/development.html
Providing you configure the appropriate source files you can debug any
combination of Tomcat, you app or any library used by Tomcat or your app.
Yes I did see this... problem I had was trying to figure out how the code
goes into packages. That ant script pulls stuff out of jars, compiles little
bits all over the place, and assembles other jars. I'm sure all with good
reason, but it makes it a mission to match code and jar. If left to their
own devices a user will probably do what I did... jam all the code in and
make their own packages. But its a good idea, be nice if you added an ant
script that creates the source and libs needed for each netbeans project, so
that it matches Tomcat exactly... call it Dev-Cat...
Clinicly... I agree with you... but I luv playing with WildCat....
Its up... can get it at http://coolese.100free.com/wildcat.htm
