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.
