Re: cannot find the Default Source Stratum preference

Just as a check to make sure everything is set up appropriately, can you 
try debugging one of the JSP examples in Tomcat? The instructions online 
describe how to do this:

    http://www.bluemarsh.com/java/jswat/docs/howto-jsp.html

If that is working, then try using the 'lines' command to see if which 
lines of the generated servlet class have executable lines. It should 
return line numbers in relation to the JSP source. Try setting a 
breakpoint on one of those lines and reloading the page.

BTW, I am not an expert on Tomcat, but you may want to try setting the 
source path like this:

/home/ericrobe/sandbox/tg-portal/portlets/gpir-browser-2/src/java
/home/ericrobe/opt/tomcat/5.5.15/webapps/gpir-browser-2/jsp
/home/ericrobe/opt/tomcat/5.5.15/work/Catalina/localhost/gpir-browser-2

And be sure you are starting Tomcat in debug mode, probably with a 
command like "./bin/catalina.sh jpda start".
