Graham, You mention Eclipse. Are you using a version of WebTools? Assuming you are, be aware that the launch configuration created for Tomcat v5.5.x is missing the JVM argument:
-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager that you would normally get from Tomcat 5.5's startup batch scripts. Adding this argument manually would likely make the logging reappear. HTH.
