Tool (Apache Tomcat 7.0.67 API Documentation)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.catalina.startup.Tool

```
public final class Tool
extends java.lang.Object
```
General purpose wrapper for command line tools that should execute in an environment with the common class loader environment set up by Catalina. This should be executed from a command line script that conforms to the following requirements:
- Passes the catalina.home system property configured with the pathname of the Tomcat installation directory.
- Sets the system classpath to include bootstrap.jar and $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar.
The command line to execute the tool looks like:
```
   java -classpath $CLASSPATH org.apache.catalina.startup.Tool \
     ${options} ${classname} ${arguments}
 
```
with the following replacement contents:
- ${options} - Command line options for this Tool wrapper. The following options are supported:
  - -ant : Set the ant.home system property to corresponding to the value of catalina.home (useful when your command line tool runs Ant).
  - -common : Add common/classes and common/lib
  - -server : Add server/classes and server/lib to the class loader repositories.
- ${classname} - Fully qualified Java class name of the application's main class.
