Double-click the "Tomcat v7.0 Server at local" in the Servers view. In
the server editor page that opens, click the link for "Runtime
Environment" in the "General Information" section. In the "Edit Server
Runtime Environment" dialog that pops up, the JRE selection is what the
Tomcat will try to run on. You can click on the "Installed JREs" button
to see where that JRE is installed, if it still is. Otherwise pick a
different JRE in the "Edit Server Runtime Environment" dialog.
When you change a server runtime like this, projects which use this
server runtime may not see your update and still reference the old JRE
in the Java Build Path. If this is the case, open the project's
Properties dialog and go to the "Project Facets" page. Select the
"Runtimes" tab on the right. Uncheck the selected runtime and click
Apply, then re-check the runtime and click OK. This will force the
project to update the JRE that the project's Java Build Path is referencing.
Cheers,
Larry

The thing to be aware of is that each time you launch the Tomcat server
in Eclipse, an associated Eclipse launch configuration (i.e. what you
see under "Apache Tomcat" when you click "Run -> Run Configurations...")
gets generated/updated. This launch configuration defines what will be
used to run Tomcat. It is unaffected by settings you add to
eclipse.ini, etc.
If you double-click the server in the Servers view, you will see the
server editor for this server. For Tomcat, the Server Locations section
establishes where "catalina.base" will point. In the General
Information section, the selected Runtime Enviroment establishes where
catalina.home will point (i.e. it will point to the Tomcat directory you
selected when the runtime was created). The JRE associated with the
selected Runtime Environment will define where the Java that runs Tomcat
will come from. These are all set automatically in the launch
configuration when you start the server.
One thing you can do is to try starting the Tomcat. After it fails,
switch to the Debug perspective. In the Debug view, you should see a
terminated launch for Tomcat. Right click on the first child of the
terminated launch and select "Properties". In the dialog the appears,
the complete command line that Eclipse attempted to execute is
displayed. You can open a DOS window and try to execute this command.
This might make it easier to see what it is about the command line that
is causing a problem. Once you have determined what's wrong, we can try
to see is wrong in your Eclipse workspace that causing that problem in
the command.
Cheers,
Larry
