| SpringSource provides a set of plug-ins for the Eclipse IDE that streamline the development | |
| lifecycle of OSGi bundles and PAR applications. The Virgo Tomcat Server Tools build on top | |
| of the Eclipse Web Tools Project (WTP). | |
| </p><p> | |
| The Virgo Tomcat Server Tools support the creation of new OSGi bundle and PAR projects within Eclipse, and the | |
| conversion of existing projects into OSGi bundle projects. Projects can then be deployed and debugged on a running | |
| VTS from within Eclipse. | |

| Currently the Tools support Eclipse 3.5 and Eclipse 3.6 with the corresponding version of WTP. Downloading and | |
| unzipping the <a class="ulink" href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/" target="_top">Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers</a> is the | |
| easiest way to start. | |
| </p><p> | |
| You may like to change the Eclipse launcher options to increase the values of <code class="literal">-XX:MaxPermSize</code>, | |
| <code class="literal">-Xms</code>, and <code class="literal">-Xmx</code>. Suggested values, if you have plenty of RAM, are <code class="literal">768m</code>, | |
| <code class="literal">500m</code>, and <code class="literal">2500m</code>, respectively. | |

| Install the dm Server Tools, which include the Virgo Tools, from one of the following update sites depending on | |
| your version of Eclipse. Releases are, in general, more stable than milestones whereas nightly builds are not for the | |
| faint of heart. | |
