Change Tomcat Server's timeout in Eclipse

Question

Open the Servers view -> double click tomcat -> drop down the Timeouts section

There you can increase the startup time for each particular server.

1. Go to server View
2. Double click the server for which you want to change the time limit
3. On the right hand side you have timeouts dropdown tab. Select that.
4. You then have option to change the time limits.

SOLVED: That's it!!!! For me was compiling with JDK6 but running Tomcat with JDK7, WST uses the system properties and not the eclipse settings. I also configure the same JDK Version in eclipse and in System (check it with java -version in cmd line)

Details: I try to configure eclipse like describe here, but it didn´t solve the problem, then I notice in eclipse´s error log that tomcat was started with jre 1.7. in spite of my configurations.

I also try, in cmd line, 'java -version' and obtained '1.7' instead of expected '1.6'.

I also decide to configure java 1.6 (like in eclipse) in system panel but it didn´t solve the problem. I also desinstall jre 1.7 restart eclipse AND IT SUCCESS!.. It was a very usefull clue, thank you.

Double click on server and see the timeouts section and add more time look at the picture

Windows->Preferences->Server

Server Timeout can be specified there.

or another method via the Servers tab here:

The issue is also created if you have setup breakpoints in the code and trying to start tomcat in debug mode post some code overhaul.

Solution is to clear all the breakpoints.

double click tomcat , see configure setting with "timeout" modify the number. Maybe this not the tomcat error.U can see the DB connection is achievable.
