To run and debug a Java web application in Eclipse, you need to have a dynamic web project. The error message in your screen shot implies you haven't one. Have a look at the excellent tutorials of Lars Vogel:

To debug an application running on an external tomcat, set that tomcat to allow remote debugging, e.g. with JVM params like this:

-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n

Then create a new remote "Remote Java Application" debug config, select connection type "Standard (Socket Attach)" and provide host and port (in the example above the port would be 8787).
