Thanks, Enrique, your advise was most helpful:-) I also found some additional advise on http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=752624 for being able to start/stop Tomcat inside Eclipse as well by configuring startup.bat file:
4)Open startup.bat(inside the bin folder of tomcat) and search for call "%EXECUTABLE%" start %CMD_LINE_ARGS%. Its at the end of the file. Replace this with call "%EXECUTABLE%" jpda start %CMD_LINE_ARGS% (mind the spaces, better copy and paste). So piece by piece it starts to clear up!

Simply set the following shell variables (or something similar in windows): JPDA_TRANSPORT=dt_socket JPDA_ADDRESS=8000 export JPDA_TRANSPORT JPDA_ADDRESS And start your tomcat as follows: $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/catalina.sh jpda start Now you can debug the JVM connecting to the port 8000. In Eclipse you must do: 1. Run > Debug ... 2. Select "Remote Java Application" 3. Press new button 4. Configure your settings 5.
