I will tell you all the steps that I have taken. I will also give some photos to make my problem more understandable. Any recommendation would be enjoyable.
Be sure to say what I use
Tomcat 6 (Instaled on C: \ Program Files \ Apache Software Foundation \ Tomcat 6.0)
Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo)
Google Plugin for eclipse 3.7 (for working with GWT)
In eclipse, I created a server
. I have $ CATALINA_HOME installed in C: \ Program Files \ Apache Software Foundation \ Tomcat 6.0
I should also say that there is an exception when I try to start Tomcat from Eclipse (I mean R-click on server -> start).
