Tomcat 6 configuration inside Eclipse

I am having trouble configuring my Eclipse EE to run Tomcat 6 (my company has not migrated to Tomcat 7 yet). I was trying to follow these instructions. I went into the servers tab in the bottom panel, hit New->Server, then chose Apache->Tomcat 6. Then I went through a succession of the following screens:

and finally arrived to the error message:

Here are the contents of my Tomcat conf dir (C:\home\SFTWR\tomcat6\conf):

catalina.policy
catalina.properties
context.xml
logging.properties
server.xml
web.xml
wrapper.properties

Any suggestion what may be wrong? It runs fine when running standalone and I can deploy apps from Eclipse but I would like to be able to run in in Eclipse for debugging purposes.

UPDATE:

Despite the error message, I noticed that the server was indeed registered, however, not functional -- when I tried to hit "Start", I got an error popup listing two problems:

The detailed exception stack trace is as follows:

I seem to have had the same problem with Eclipse Juno and Tomcat 6.0_36 on Centos 6.3. It took me 2 days to realize that the problem only existed when the Tomcat server was started before Eclipse was started (e.g. at boot time).

Executing "/etc/init.d/tomcat stop" before starting Eclipse solved my problem.
