To avoid misunderstandings: I see no problem in running tomcat on the host for use cases like mine. I'm a developer for a tomcat-based client/server application, and I run several instances of tomcat and VMWare server on my linux workstation. I use a Windows VM for our CRM tool and to test the windows version of or Java Swing UI. I also sometimes use additional linux VMs for other tests. It makes no sense for me to virtualize my development environment with tomcat, just to not run anything on the host out of principle. > This interface is sufficiently graphic and complex to deserve a Tomcat > to manage it.

Since we're offtopic anyway, some details for whoever might be interested (not trying to nitpick, just additional info): the console is no Java Applet, but a browser plugin, and is integrated into the server/vm management web UI. One can also create shortcuts to launch it standalone, after it has been installed in the browser. It does not only provide tty access, but also a VNC-like graphical interface if the guest has a GUI.
