TOmcat7 is not working in Eclipse Kelper

I am using Eclipse Kepler and Tomcat7 and when I try to run Tomcat from command prompt , everything works fine. But when the tomcat is tried to run from eclipse, the tomcat homepage is not shown up though the server starts fine. I have configured the server in the Eclipse Kepler.

Could anyone please suggest how to get the tomcat homepage to work inside the eclipse as I need this to debug my project .

I stopped using the tomcat/eclipse integration a long time ago, you can control tomcat from ant and maven so it will auto redeploy or start/stop your app during the build - this method I find less buggy and has less headaches. You can also do the same for almost all j2ee servers

The eclipse homepage is not shown because eclipse by default do not copy the ROOT folder from tomcat webapps.

So you have rather to make eclipse point to an external application server rather than the embedded one (which may need advanced settings), or simply copy ROOT from the downloaded Tomcat AS 7 then paste it under /your-workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp~/wtpwebapps.
