Connecting Tomcat server to Eclipse

Question

Answer 1

If you have unzipped downloaded Tomcat archive into Eclipse Servers folder, User Entries in classpath have relative path (e.g. /Servers/....) of bootstrap.jar and tomcat-juli.jar which path I guess is not accessible as a relative path.

Once I removed Tomcat installation directory (with files) outside Eclipse's Servers folder, delete the old configuration and re-add Tomcat, everything worked as expected.

I hope this helps narrow down the cause.
