I am running the server via STS.

I wish to enable the manager application and edit tomcat-users.xml accordingly.

However, the file is continually overwritten on server startup (thus removing the manager entry) which is pretty annoying.

The tomcat-users file is located as below:

C:\springsource\vfabric-tc-server-developer-2.6.1.RELEASE\Instance2\conf\tomcat-users.xml

The server is configured in STS as "Use tc server installation".

Any suggestions how to enable the manager once-and-for-all!

Thanks.
