See if this item[1] in the Tomcat FAQ covers your problem, specifically
the second use case.

-Dwtp.deploy=" /root/WTP/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp 0/wtpwebapps "
-Djava.endorsed.dirs="/usr/share/tomcat5/common/endorsed"
and in the classpath I have 2 entries as foillows :
Bootstrap entries
JRE system libraries [jdk1.5.0_14]
User entries
bootstrap.jar -/usr/share/tomcat5/bin
tools.jar - /opt/jdk1.5.0_14/lib
I assume this is what use case is talking about. However, I couldn't
understand where/how find 'start-up batch".
2nd, how/where can I ensure that user running Eclipse has permission to
read the JARs in the installation. I am new to this eclipse world and a
little bit lost.
Thanks aqain for your help

This isn't really an Eclipse/WTP issue, but one of reasons you will
often be advised on the Tomcat Users mailing list to avoid packaged
Tomcat installs. If I examine the MANIFEST.MF file found in
bootstrap.jar in a binary distribution from Apache (Tomcat 5.5 in this
case) I will find a line like the following:
Class-Path: jmx.jar commons-daemon.jar commons-logging-api.jar
tomcat-juli.jar
This specifies additional jars, if present in the same directory as
bootstrap.jar, that should be automatically included on the startup
classpath. This is why you don't have to include them in the startup
configuration like what you cited above. If you examine the
bootstrap.jar in /usr/share/tomcat5/bin, you probably won't find that
line or it won't be the same. It was removed or altered as part of the
"packaging" of Tomcat so that jars installed elsewhere could be
specified in the startup scripts that run Tomcat. The problem is that
WTP no longer picks them up automatically. Not knowing how the Tomcat
was packaged, I don't know where those startup scripts are or which file
will show what jars are being used. They might be in the "bin"
directory along with bootstrap.jar.
Assuming the prediction above about your bootstrap.jar is true, you can
avoid this problem by downloading a tar.gz binary distribution[1] from
Apache and use that instead of your currently installed Tomcat. You
will potentially avoid other issues as well.
Cheers,
Larry

So many thanks for this usefull explamation. I opened the file and found
the following line
Class-Path: jmx.jar commons-daemon.jar commons-logging-api-1.1.1.jar
tomcat-juli.jar
which has only, it seems, commons-logging-api-1.1.1. instead of
commons-logging-api.jar
All indicated jars are found in the same directory and I should think
according to your explanation that the version in bootstrap is not
compatible with my eclipse. Am I right.
IO have spent a lot of time configuring my machine (apache, tomcat,
axis2.......) and would like to avoid the option you suggested of
re-install tomcat.

file.
However, a quick question, when I click on my jsp file, do Deug on server,
the server starts correctly , same messages in console as before, and then
it stops for Timeout error.
*********************************
Timeout waiting for Tomcat v5.5 Server at localhost to start. Server did
not start after 45s.
***********************************************
Any idea?
