  1. Go to Catalina.properties
  2. Add the jar file in the property commons.loader
  3. Try to start tomcat

It will not start. It seems there is something missing in the jar file while tomcat scans the jar file on boot. It may be related to some information in META-INF within in the jar file

I tried to add the jar file in the property of jarsToSkip. This time tomcat was able to start
