I just played with Eclipse Neon (newest release). It does copy over a Tomcat configuration into your workspace, and then runs Tomcat from that (sort of like RUNNING.txt). That being said, Eclipse does not handle ROOT well at all by default. If I tell Maven to have a final name of ROOT, then Eclipse edits the workspace server.xml with: <Host> <Context docBase="CSEFive" path="/ROOT" reloadable="true" source="org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:CSEFive"/> </Host> CSEFive is my actual application. If I name things normally, then the application comes up as CSEFive, and the portion of server.xml reads as follows: <Host> <Context docBase="CSEFive" path="/CSEFive" reloadable="true" source="org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:CSEFive"/> </Host> The only way that I know of to manage this from within Eclipse is the following: Right-mouse click on the project, and go the the following in the drop down menu: Properties->Web Project Settings Change the Context root to / Run your project from within Eclipse, and it will come up as http://localhost:8080/ Eclipse will rewrite the server.xml in your workspace to: <Host> <Context docBase="CSEFive" path="/" reloadable="true" source="org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:CSEFive"/> </Host> In any case, once you move out of an Eclipse-controlled Tomcat, the WAR file needs to be named ROOT.war (case matters, even on Windows). You'll need to move Tomcat's default ROOT web application to another location. In short, it's an Eclipse artifact. . . . just my two cents /mde/
