Tomcat set Windows cmd title

When you open multiple tomcat windows, it is difficult to distinguish which window is which project. Setting the window name can help distinguish.

Enter the bin directory of tomcat, such as T:\apache-tomcat-9.0.60-windows-x64\apache-tomcat-9.0.60\bin, find the catalina.bat file, and open it with a text editor.

You can see in the bottom of the description, there is a parameter called TITLE, and the default is Tomcat. You can modify it according to your needs. It can have spaces.

rem   TITLE           (Optional) Specify the title of Tomcat window. The default
rem                   TITLE is Tomcat if it's not specified.
rem                   Example (all one line)
rem                   set TITLE=Tomcat.Cluster#1.Server#1 [%DATE% %TIME%]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Search for TITLE in the file, and find the following section. Fill in your name after set TITLE.

:doStart
shift
rem Set the title of the window
rem if "%TITLE%" == "" set TITLE=Tomcat
if "%TITLE%" == "" set TITLE=YOURNAME YOURSUBNAME
set _EXECJAVA=start "%TITLE%" %_RUNJAVA%
if not ""%1"" == ""-security"" goto execCmd
shift
echo Using Security Manager
set "SECURITY_POLICY_FILE=%CATALINA_BASE%\conf\catalina.policy"
goto execCmd
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
