Alec, I'm not aware of any specific causes for this behavior with Eclipse 3.3.x and WTP 2.0.x. To begin searching for a cause, it would be helpful to know what happens if you unzip a new Tomcat install, create a runtime and server from that install in Eclipse, and try starting that server from the Servers tab. Does it exhibit the same behavior?
