Unfortunately, it's a use case that's currently not practical to
support. You are basically referring to
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=113484.

Creating the extra "conf" and "webapps" should be fine for creating the
server runtime. However, when you create the server, files from that
"conf" are imported into the appropriate subfolder of the Servers
project in your workspace. These are necessary for the Tomcat support
to work correctly. I'm not sure if this occurred successfully. It
would be best if the "conf" directory you created also included the
configuration files you want to import before you create the server.
After you create the server, open the server editor by double-clicking
on the server in the Servers view. In the Server Locations section,
select "Use custom location..." option and specify the location of your
catalina_base path, if you haven't already.
Note that the configuration files in the subfolder of the Servers
project will overwrite those in your catalina_base. Thus, they become
the "masters" for those files. Local changes in your catalina_base will
get stepped on the next time the Tomcat server is started within Eclipse.

I'll need more detail about the meaning of "messed up" and "tamper" to
make an attempt to answer this one.
