Site Map

We are based in the UK and have been under development for quite some time now. We are the only beer website developed using Java on Apache/Tomcat. Check out the links below for some great free to use stuff we are using.

  • Development & System
  • Eclipse
  • Sysdeo Eclipse Tomcat Plugin
  • Updated Version of the Sysdeo Eclipse Tomcat Plugin

    We have tried to wean ourselves off this great plugin and failed. Yes we know we should be running Tomcat with the Eclipse way, but this plugin is just much better with no time wasting.

    Well, the plugin is no longer being maintained, so here is our version. It's been updated to the latest versions of Tomcat and also modified to work with Maven and Git. There is now an additional tab to include Maven's target/classes folders in Tomcat context root.xml file. Other than that it is basically the same with the changes listed. It is hard to improve such a good time saving tool.
