Building (and running) Tomcat on MacOS

All,

Periodically, some folks ask how to get Tomcat running on MacOS. In
order to fully-test the most recent version of Tomcat 8.5.x being
voted on, I built a new environment on my Mac from scratch and
documented everything.

I put all of my notes into the Tomcat Wiki which can be found here:
https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/Building%20Tomcat%20on%20MacOS

Comments and modifications are welcome. It would be even better if
some folks with Macs who aren't running Tomcat would actually try
following the instructions and let me know if anything in particular
doesn't work for you.

Hi Christopher,

How do you make Tomcat start automatically after your Mac restarts?

I don't :)

I think the best way is to use the Launch Deamon facility of macos.
Briefly, as root:

1. Create a file
/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.tomcat.startup.plist with all the
appropriate settings
2. run "launchctl load -w
/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.tomcat.startup.plist"

To remove the load-on-start:

3. run "launchctl unload -w
/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.tomcat.startup.plist"

Diaclaimer: I didn't test the procedure


Kind Regards,
