Configure APR connector in Spring Tool Suite/Eclipse


I want to configure APR connector in Spring Tool Suite's tomcat in linux(CentOS7).

Using apr 1.5.2, tomcat-native 1.1.33, Spring Tool Suite 3.6.2, tomcat 7.0.57.

Followed this tutorial and installed apr and tomcat-native libraries. Then based on this question, configured the jdk path to eclipse tomcat's configuration arguments. Now when i start the server, i get

SEVERE: Failed to initialize connector [Connector[HTTP/1.1-8443]]

Any help is appreciated.
