XAMPP Tomcat Version

How do I figure out what version of tomcat my xampp is running ?

Here’s what I found:

You should be able to find this in the
log called ‘catalina.out‘.
Alternatively, you can go right to the
source; open
$TOMCAT_HOME/server/lib/catalina.jar
in a tool capable of handling zip or
jar files, and read the file called
org/apache/catalina/util/ServerInfo.properties.

That last bit is not guaranteed to
work across multiple versions, though.

Personal opinion — the catalina solution should be perfectly fine.

P.S. your (XAMPP) Tomcat home folder usually lies in $XAMPP/tomcat/
