Hi all,
A few weeks back, I wrote a blog entry about how to access username and password information for the Apache Tomcat server. This information, however, was for NetBeans 5.5. In NetBeans 6.0, it's a very similar process. Here's how to do it in NetBeans 6.0:
- Locate your userdir (Select Help > About from the main menu).
- Write down the location of the userdir (or have it tattooed on your forearm next to the "I luv Netbeans" tattoo).
- Go the userdir and find the apache-tomcat-6.0.x_base\conf folder.
- Open the tomcat-users.xml file and write down the password that is listed for the "ide" user. (The "ide" user is generated by the IDE during installation.)
Important note: It is not recommended that you have the "ide" user password tattooed anywhere on your body. In a few years, and after several thousand development build installations (each with a unique password), you might run out of places. On the other hand, you might land a decent job in a circus.
See you soon!
