[KDsCalling <kedungan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a feeling I have missed something pretty important.  Do I need to 
have apache and tomcat installed and running before I install eclipse?
I have attempted to use NitroX's DBXplore plugin to view my database. 
The error is "driver class com.inet.tds.TdsDriver not available to the 
class loader".  Then I attempted to use the database explorer that is 
part of the eclipse ide.  I received the same message.

So here is where I am trying to go.  I would like to create a JSP that 
can access a database to fill one of it's fields.  Is that possilbe to 
do inside of the IDE for testing purposes or do I need to just create it 
in the IDE and then move it into a externally running Tomcat?

And by the way, is there a 'how to set up and use eclipse for dummies' 
paper floating around the internet someplace?

Thank you,
Katherine
