Although this question has been answered - it was a problem with a corrupt repository, it is possible to determine which jar in your repository is corrupt by deploying the war to Tomcat outside of eclipse.

In my situation Tomcat then reported in its log where the problem lay (guava-13.0.1.jar):

SEVERE: Unable to process Jar entry [com/google/common/collect/package-info.class] from Jar
[jar:file:/C:/Java/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.42/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/lib/guava-13.0.1.jar!/] for annotations
java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid LOC header (bad signature)
