John,
I have not loaded jswdk into VA. I have however loaded both JRun and
WebSphere into VA Pro 2.0 and VA Enterprise. In order to run the servlets,
in each of those cases, I had my servlets in their own project. I located
the "main" that starts up the web server and hence the servlet engine. You
want to "right click" on the class that starts up the whole mess, pick its
"properties" and add your servlet project to its "project classpath". This
should let the servlet engine find your servlets in the "system classpath".
While you are running within VA, the "system classloader" is VA itself. You
should be able to set your breakpoints within your doGet(), etc...
