Tomcat 7.0 on Eclipse hadn't been running fine on Eclipse. I removed it so that I can start from scratch for a "clean" install.

Tomcat Installation on Eclipse

Tomcat 7.0 on Eclipse hadn't been running fine on Eclipse. I removed it so that I can start from scratch for a "clean" install. I did so merely by deleting its entry from the Servers folder under projects.

I've also tried

to "fool" Eclipse so that it won't see anything from the previous install and start fresh.

Is there anything more than what I've done to remove Tomcat on Eclipse?

Recently, I had the same issue, when I had deleted my old tomcat server, and was attempting to install a new one.

Make sure to edit your existing Server Runtime Environment to point to the directory where your installed tomcat server is located!

On Eclipse Main-menu,

Windows > Preferences > Server > Runtime Environment > Add

asked for the folder that Tomcat is installed in.

Seems to be working-- for now.
