I've been entirely unable to get any Web-project within Web-Tools to do anything at all (except
claim "service not found"). However, I can manage to use the thing as a rather heavy-weight JSP
editor (altho it fails to "import" this valid directive: <%@ taglib prefix="tags"
tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" %> and rejects comments). Using that function, I can write JSP's and then
copy them (and the corresponding.tag files) into the C:/Program Files/Apache Software
Foundation/Tomcat 5.5/webapps/jsp-examples directory (and WEB-INF/tags/ subdirectory), and actually
get the JSP's to run (using http://localhost:8080/jsp-examples/myLittle.jsp). This seems to validate
that I have a valid Tomcat install and am creating valid JSP's. So it must be some hidden
un(der)documented setup preference thingy that is preventing Web-Tools from working.

Conceivably this workaround will be of use to other web-tools newbies, hence posted here.
