I installed apache-tomee-plume-7.1.0 from https://tomee.apache.org/
I installed eclipse-jee from https://www.eclipse.org/ using the installation tool.
In eclipse I added a new tomcat v8.5 server since eclipse told me that was the installed version.
When starting the server from within eclipse, I get an error-message like this:
'Starting tomcat v8.5 Server at localhost' has encountered a problem.
Server Tomcat v8.5 Server at localhost failed to start.
In the console it says:
SEVERE: A child container failed during start

There are some more errors but I think the NoClassDefFoundError might be the main problem... am I right?
Any help is appreciated.
I ended up using another version of tomee.
Switched to version: apache-tomee-plume-8.0.0-M3
This solved my issues.
Both version of TomEE, witch is Apache TomEE plume 8.0.0-M3 and Apache Tomee plume 7.1.0, it seems to run without error, both started from prompt and also from Eclipse plugin. However try to unpacked them in an directory whose name does not contain the space character.

thank u for your support...
As you can see in your logs files, Spring can not create the file logs/spring.log (relative to the server's working directory). Unless your system administrator changed the usual permissions on a Tomcat installation:
$CATALINA_BASE/logs is writable by Tomcat, but
there is no guarantee that the OS working directory of the server is $CATALINA_BASE, although often it is.
To be on the safe side and don't depend on Tomcat's working directory, use the Java system property catalina.base to define the path of the log file:
logging.file.name=${catalina.base:.}/logs/spring.log
The fallback . is used when you start your application in an embedded Tomcat.
Remark: Since you use the default spring.log file name, you can also delete the logging.file.name property an configure just a path:
logging.file.path=${catalina.base:.}/logs
From the stacktrace it seems like tomcat is trying to create a file under logs/spring.log in the tomcat directory which the using running tomcat not has access to. See (Permission denied) in the stacktrace.
You could create this file and give write access for the user running tomcat.
Some reasons may happen:
Check if you have permission to read the spring.log file or not this is the most obvious reason for java.io.FileNotFoundException: (Access is denied) exception so immediately provide read, write and execute permission to the log file and try again.
Or check if some other process is using that file This could be another possible reason for java.io.FileNotFoundException: (Access is denied).
I have a big problem with maven, tomcat 8 and AWS.
I have a java based web page and everything is working fine, when I'm using it local. But, when I try to upload to AWS I get this error message:

This looks like some fonts are missing, or maybe none is installed. Compare the output of fc-command between your dev environment and your prod. This command might not be here by default and you need to install it too.
This post might help, as we don't know which distro you are running.

I am getting these errors in my tomcat apache window in console afer running my application. The application runs fine in browser and nothing seems suspicious but I do not have any idea why these errors shows up in 'tomcat apache console'
My tomcat apache version is 8
and i'm using java se 8.
I'm trying to install YouTrack. I installed Tomcat 7 and that works fine (I'm able to load localhost:8080). Now I'm trying to deploy YouTrack. I followed the instructions on their website:
Deploy youtrack-xx.war in Tomcat servlet container:
If you run Tomcat (e.g. as a Windows service), stop Tomcat instance before deploying YouTrack.
Save youtrack-xx.war in the $TOMCAT_HOME$/webapps directory. Rename youtrack-xx.war file as required before deploying. In the
further examples we assume that the YouTrack servlet name is set to
youtrack.war.
Start Apache Tomcat and check whether YouTrack is set up correctly and is available (in a web browser navigate to
http://yourserver:<Tomcat port>/youtrack).
At step 3. I can't access YouTrack. I get a 404. If I go to the management site of Tomcat, it says that the Running state of YouTrack is false. If I click Start, it will display this error message:
FAIL - Application at context path /youtrack could not be started
FAIL - Encountered exception org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException:
