Tomcat not working on Windows

[hohwille]

Expected behavior

As a IDEasy user, I want to run tomcat easily so that I can test my app in tomcat.

Actual behavior

$ ide tomcat run
Configured version is 8u412b08 but does not match version to install [11,22) - need to use different version from software repository.
Using CATALINA_HOME:   D:\projects\_ide\software\default\tomcat\tomcat\10.1.30
Unable to start as CATALINA_HOME contains a colon (:) character
Step 'ide (tomcat,run)' failed: com.devonfw.tools.ide.cli.CliProcessException: Running command 'D:\projects\demo9\software\tomcat\bin\catalina.sh' using bash with arguments 'run' failed with exit code 1!
1 step(s) failed out of 2 steps.
Running command 'D:\projects\demo9\software\tomcat\bin\catalina.sh' using bash with arguments 'run' failed with exit code 1!

Error: IDEasy failed with exit code 1

Comments/Hints:

This worked once. Was that because before we were using catalina.bat on Windows? I assume so.
That was my fault since I suggested for simplification that we always return catalina.sh instead of adding OS detection and complicated stuff. Or we did not add CATALINA_HOME environment variable before.

Anyhow, if we define CATALINA_HOME and use the bash script catalina.sh it seems we need to transform the PATH to MINGW syntax.
