starting with enhydra-6.5 - NullPointerException in Catalina.await

[Petr Stehlik <pstehlik@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have finally found some free time to start playing with Enhydra 6.5-1.
I have unpacked the .tar.gz, set up JAVA_HOME (jdk1.5.0) and
CATALINA_HOME, ran ./configure and ./configureBase in enhydra and at
last ran ./setEasRoot.sh in eclipse. Then started eclipse, let it
generate default Enhydra application, compiled it and ran. And I got
this:

2005-11-14 15:34:43,084: WARN: Can't load server.xml
2005-11-14 15:34:43,117: WARN: Can't load server.xml

        ... 6 more

Can someone tell me if I did something wrong or if I hit a bug
somewhere?

BTW, if I deploy manually I get the following error:
     [jar] Manifest is invalid: Manifest line "?K?" is not valid as it
does not contain a name and a value separated by ': ' 
      [jar] error while reading original manifest: Invalid Manifest:
null
      [jar] Building
jar: 
/home/joy/enhydra-6.5/ide/eclipse/workspace/test/application/bin/application/webapps/test/WEB-INF/lib/test.jar

What's wrong in this case?

Thanks

Petr

P.S. I couldn't find any complete and reasonable installation
documentation for Enhydra 6.5. The steps above (configure, configureBase
and setEasRoot) were found in README files scattered in the various
subfolders. For this reason I didn't do anything in 'entray' and
'console' subfolders - I didn't feel I need their services.
