After emerging tomcat-5.5 (with LSF-compliant layout), Eclipse SDK 3.2 and installing the Web tools platorm via update manager, there is no way to add a Tomcat server runtime to Eclipse. Pointint it to /var/lib/tomcat-5.5 does not work (the location of the server runtime is incorrect), nor pointing it to /usr/share/tomcat-5.5. I think it's because there is no lib/ subdir in /var/lib/tomcat-5.5 and /usr/share/tomcat-5.5.

I tried adding the following symlinks in /var/lib/tomcat-5.5: /var/lib/tomcat-5.5/common --> /usr/share/tomcat-5.5/common /var/lib/tomcat-5.5/bin --> /usr/share/tomcat-5.5/bin /var/lib/tomcat-5.5/lib --> /usr/share/tomcat-5.5/lib /var/lib/tomcat-5.5/server --> /usr/share/tomcat-5.5/server Eclipse 3.2 WST was able to use /var/lib/tomcat-5.5 as a server runtime after the modifications.
