I suspect that probably it's better to ask on the WTP newsgroup, which
I've added to the "to" list of the reply. It might help to look at the
Error Log view which will show you a stack trace...

See if this item[1] in the Tomcat FAQ helps. If not, a full stack trace
and more info about your OS and version of Eclipse and WTP would help.

I'm running Windows XP, service pack 2. Eclipse info is
Version: 3.3.1.1
Build id: M20071023-1652
The WTP version appears to be 1.1.X. I seem to have 6 WTP plugins, with
final version numbers ranging from 100 to 102.
Thanks,
Rich

These exceptions suggest that the Tomcat plug-in is having trouble
understanding customizations that may have been made to the server.xml
in your installation. This file is imported from your Tomcat
installation into a sub folder of the Servers folder in your workspace.
It appears that there is a problem identifying the <Service>,
<Engine>, or <Host> that should be used. If you can attach a copy of
the server.xml from the Servers project in your workspace, I'll take a
look and see if I can spot anything.

Larry

That got it! The defaultHost field of the Engine tag was set to a
non-existent host. We've been using IntelliJ and apparently it ignores
that field. I changed it to "localhost" (which is correct b/c I'm only
using it for testing) and it started up.
Thanks,
