Can run Tomcat from within Eclipse, don't know how to run/debug my project

I have Java project that I formerly debugged using Sysdeo Launcher. Now I'd like to use the built-in support for Tomcat.

I am able to launch stand-alone Tomcat from within Eclipse that way (Server -> Runtime Environments, etc.), but when run it either loads only the web-apps installed in that Tomcat or d开发者_StackOverflow中文版oes not load any web-app at all. I.e. I don't know how to tell Eclipse I want this project to be used as a web-app.

Use Tomcat installation results in Tomcat using web-apps defined in the stand-alone installation webapps dir

Use workspace metadata results in an empty Tomcat, i.e. no web-apps at all

Add and Remove on the server (in Servers view) yields 'There are no resources that can be added or removed from the server'.

You need to convert this project to Dynamic Web Project. After that you should be able to deploy it on Tomcat within Eclipse.
