Sorry to interrupt, and excuse my ignorance on the matter, I am Netbeaner. However many are trying to use Eclipse with our system installed Tomcat on Gentoo. Tomcat installed via Gentoo ebuild, not a bundled one in Eclipse.
The biggest problem people run into is that the Eclipse plugin does not respect CATALINA_BASE and CATALINA_HOME. It expects them to be the same, when it's been a long time design feature that they can be different. Now by default Netbeans assumes they are the same, but does allow one to specify both if they are different. The Tomcat Eclipse plugin or etc seems to lack that ability. So if you are going to be improving the support or working on it for future Tomcat releases. Would it be possible to address the _BASE/_HOME issue at the same time. Thanks and I know this is the wrong list for this. However, since the discussion was taking place, felt it was some what relevant. Thanks -- William L. Thomson Jr. Gentoo/Java
