I've now got launching of tomcat and debugging to work, however cannot use the GUI to edit project settings. I have to manually edit the context.xml and .tomcatplugin metadata files which requires some previous knowlege.
I tried to install the plugin on Eclipse Neon (4.6.2). In eclipse.ini I specified vm Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_31-b13) (/home/superx/tools/jdk1.8.0_31/jre/bin/java).
When trying to install the plugin I get the error.
Unable to read repository at http tomcatplugin.sf.net/update/plugins/net.sf.eclipse.tomcat_9.1.2.jar.

OpenJdk is needed by my Suse Leap 42.2 installation for LibreOffice, so I can't easily deinstall it.
What can I do?
Thanks for your help
unfortunately this seems to be an issue with the mirror network provided by Sourceforge. Currently it does not seem to be fixed in the near future. Therefore I can only suggest you to try and try again until it has worked. I have seen people getting a successful installation after 20 or more tries. Sorry for inconvenience.
When a new project is created after the plugin is installed, the below error is popped up:
The selected wizard could not be started.

Problem with Tomcat 8.5

Handshake Fatal Error
Submitted by Jérémy Fournier on Mon, 2017-09-04 09:27
Hello,
Can't install this plugin, Eclipse says : "Handshake Fatal Error".
Best regards.
Re: Handshake Fatal Error
Submitted by Balaji SN on Tue, 2017-09-12 01:17
Hi,
I too faced similar issue when dragging and dropping the plugin into eclipse.
The alternative worked for me was:
1. Go to the source forge site (click on "?')
2. Download the version of the tomcat plugin
3. Unzip the file, there should be folders features and plugins
4. Put the files of the folders into their respective folders in the eclipse root directory
5. Restart eclispe.
Thanks.

Hello Jérémy Fournier!
I had the same problem on Linux Mint 17 (based on Ubuntu 14.04) and java oracle version "1.8.0_144".
My Solution.
1) Download and unzip "Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 8" (first link google in my case)
2) replace both files in the directory $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security
3) restart eclipse.
Good luck!
