Eclipse server configuration
This is a guide to configure WTP to run and debug ApplicationA in Eclipse. Eclipse WebTools ( WTP ) provides support for a multitide of Java application servers, allowing among others deploy an application on the server directly from Eclipse. In the case of the platform, you can use WTP to start Tomcat (or your favorite server application) from Eclipse and thus observe the effects of changes without redeploying the application and debug the code.
