To get ready to develop a portal based on the sample Enterprise Service Portal:

1. Download and install Eclipse fromhttp://www.eclipse.org
2. Download the Tomcat plug-in for Eclipse from http://www.sysdeo.com/eclipse/tomcatPlugin.html
3. Unzip the plug-in into the Eclipse installation directory.
4. Download Tomcat from http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat
5. Install Tomcat:

   mkdir $HOME/eclipse

   cd $HOME/eclipse

   unzip /tmp/eclipse-SDK-2.0.2-solaris-motif.zip

   unzip /tmp/tomcatPluginV201.zip

   cd $HOME

   gzip –dc /tmp/tomcat-4.1.18.tar.gz | tar xvf -

6. Start Eclipse.
7. Configure the Tomcat plug-in.

   Select Window > Preferences > Tomcat, and configure the Tomcat version and the path where you installed Tomcat.
