You might have seen the deployment feature with an Eclipse configured with WTP (Web Tools Platform).
WTP is featured in the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers and Eclipse IDE for JavaScript Web Developers, and contributes to many of the other Indigo packages.

WTP is able to deploy an app in a Tomcat (or in a local Tomcat within Eclipse itself).
See also "How does eclipse deploy web applications using WTP?"

You can see an example a a build and deployment in "HowToSetupEclipseWtp".
