Set up Tomcat server on a Mac

I need to get a local setup of Java working so I can start coding locally and doing builds.

I know that Java is built into macs automatically. I am running version 1.6.0_22

I found an article on how to install tomcat: Tomcat on a Mac

I got the Tomcat server running to where i can see the default Tomcat Page.

Started to dig deeper but hit a huge wall on getting to a point where i could use an IDE to get coding.

I downloaded Eclipse for the mac (because it was free and seemed to be the more popular one out there)

So where do i need to go from here to get a working environment to test code from our svn? Any good articles that i can read. It was hard to find some (recent) documentation on how to get this working on a mac.

Which version of Eclipse did you download? I'm guessing you downloaded Eclipse IDE for Java Developers, which doesn't have the nice WTP stuff that you probably want.

You'll need a heavier flavor of Eclipse, like Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers. I'm not sure if there's a lighter (in-between) flavor that has WTP, etc., without all the Java EE stuff.

Assuming you have some sort of SVN client and know how to create a trunk on your local machine, do that, and then all you have to do from there is open the java project in that trunk within Eclipse. Once you have that open, on the Eclipse toolbar just build your code, make sure that works, and then run it in the same fashion.
