一、下载tomcat源码

https://github.com/apache/tomcat/tree/8.5.x

二、建立pom

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId>
    <artifactId>Tomcat8.5</artifactId>
    <name>Tomcat8.0</name>
    <version>8.0</version>

    <build>
        <finalName>Tomcat8.5</finalName>
        <sourceDirectory>java</sourceDirectory>
        <testSourceDirectory>test</testSourceDirectory>
        <resources>
            <resource>
                <directory>java</directory>
            </resource>
        </resources>
        <testResources>
            <testResource>
                <directory>test</directory>
            </testResource>
        </testResources>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.3</version>
                <configuration>
                    <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
                    <source>1.8</source>
                    <target>1.8</target>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>junit</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
            <version>4.12</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>

            <artifactId>easymock</artifactId>

        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>ant</groupId>
            <artifactId>ant</artifactId>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler</groupId>
            <artifactId>ecj</artifactId>
            <version>4.5.1</version>
        </dependency>

    </dependencies>
</project>

编译可能有个测试类过不了。删除即可。

三、新建catalina-home目录

• 把webapp文件夹和conf文件夹copy到Catalina-home目录
• 新建空文件夹temp、log、lib

四，设置启动参数

-Dcatalina.home=catalina-home -Dcatalina.base=catalina-home -Djava.endorsed.dirs=catalina-home/endorsed -Djava.io.tmpdir=catalina-home/temp -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager -Djava.util.logging.config.file=catalina-home/conf/logging.properties

• main class设置为 org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap
• vm option复制上面的参数主要是设置Catalina的启动目录

 五、启动

 至此，tomcat已经成功启动。

六、访问tomcat

发现有NPE

解决：在Bootstrap中启动jasper，修改代码，在ContextConfig中加入如下代码

context.addServletContainerInitializer(new JasperInitializer(), null);

启动成功。
