Tomcat in Eclipse not starting my webapp

I'm trying to do something which is normally a no brainer. I want to start my webapp in Tomcat from Eclipse.

Here the steps I followed:

The server is starting without any problem, but it's not starting the webapp. I should get the webapp starting logs, but I only get the standard Tomcat logs, like it would log if I started it without a webapp. And trying to access the webapp in a browser gets me a 404 error. Any ideas?

Last thing: when I add the war file manually in the webapp folder, it deploys, starts and runs without any problem.

I'm using Eclipse Luna with Tomcat 7.0.55 and the JDK 1.6, on a Mavericks Mac. I'm building my project with Maven 3.

Edit: After some searching, it seems the problem happens at the deployment step. When I look in my target/majrouting-web-1.1.4 folder, I can see my WEB-INF, META-INF, css, img, and js folders. But when I look in my deployment folder in wtpwebapps, only the WEB-INF exists. Still, when I deploy manually (copying the war file in the /webapp folder and starting Tomcat), it's deploying and working ok. The content of the war file seems ok, also. I don't get it.

I faced same problem ,and here is my solution it works for me:

right click the project->Properties->Deployment Assembly->Add.., select Folder and select the folder that contains the js/css/other resources, and after restart it works.

I encounter this while update eclipse from Kepler to Neon, this step is not required in Kepler. (at least in my side)
