The Virgo Server for Apache Tomcat, or VTS for short, requires Java SE 6 or later to be installed. Java is available from
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.java.com/" target="_top">http://www.java.com/</a> and elsewhere.
</p><p>
Since you're going to use the p2 director you'll need to get it. The easiest way is to download Eclipse from <a class="ulink" href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/" target="_top">here</a>.
It has built-in p2 director and other p2 applications.

Otherwise you may not see the director application. Here's how to do that:</p><p>Go to Eclipse's Preferences-&gt;Plug-in Development-&gt;Target Platform. Below is shown how the view looks like when a default target platform is set.</p><p>

</p><p>If for some reason you don't have any target platform set or it's not the default one you must set the default target platform from the image above.</p><p>If the default target platform is missing then add a new one via the <span class="emphasis"><em>Add...</em></span> button and select the <span class="emphasis"><em>Default</em></span> radio button as shown below:</p><p>
