I am going to develop web project for Linux server by Eclipse 3.6 installed on Windows XP. There is no problem for me to select workspace and install tomcat on Linux through New Project Wizard. But when I created a test servlet and tried to run it, Eclipse can't find tomcat installed on Linux by Eclipse itself.
My 1st question is: in order to develop web project, does it require Eclipse and tomcat installed on the same system? What is best solution to develop web project for Linux by Eclipse installed on Windows?
2nd question: I created a web project on Linux and deleted it. When I tried to create another project on the same folder, it prompts "A project already exists on the file system at this location: ..." Actually I already deleted it from Eclipse IDE. What's wrong?

1) Yes, you need to download Tomcat. Consider perusing the first few
articles under "Eclipse-oriented" at http://www.javahotchocolate.com to
learn how.
2) Yes, this is a frequent problem. There is a way to fix it, but I
suggest just using a different name.
If you deleted the project from the filesystem, it wasn't deleted from
Eclipse. If you deleted it from Eclipse, you may have failed to check
the box that deletes it from the filesystem.
You may need to bounce Eclipse, log in, log out (to make certain the
filesystem is not in use). Relaunch Eclipse with the -clean option. Etc.
I fixed this just the other day, but I didn't write down what I did so
that I could communicate it to anyone. It doesn't happen very often.

When you delete a project in Eclipse, it asks you if you want to also
delete the files on the filesystem. If you did not select that option,
it left those files in place. So now that you're trying to create a
project in the same place (same project name under your workspace
directory), Eclipse is telling you.
The simplest thing to do is go to your file system and delete the
project directory manually. Alternatively, if you wanted to "resurrect"
the project that you deleted from Eclipse, you could just do File >
Import > Existing project...
The lesson to take away is that we are too conditioned to ignore what
dialog boxes are telling us and just click OK.
Hope this helps,
Eric
