Solution

  • Ok, this link gives a quite detailed explanation on how to start the Tomcat Server from within Eclipse and deploy your project onto it. Basically, it consists of these steps:

    • Start Eclipse, go to Help -> Install new software -> Choose The Eclipse Web Tools Platform -> Pick the latest SDK
    • Make sure your project is a Dynamic Web Project and configure its target runtime to be the Apache Tomcat
    • Configure the Tomcat Server, from within Eclipse/Your project
    • Run your project as "Run on Server"
