A bit more detail to Joachim Sauer s answer   On Ubuntu at least  the metapackage tomcat6 depends on metapackage tomcat6-common  and others   which depends on metapackage libtomcat6-java  which depends on package libservlet2 5-java  and others   It contains  among others  the files  usr share java servlet-api-2 5 jar and  usr share java jsp-api-2 1 jar  which are the servlet and JSP libraries you need  So if you ve installed Tomcat 6 through apt-get or the Ubuntu Software Centre  you already have the libraries  all that s left is to get Tomcat to use them in your project   Place libraries  usr share java servlet-api-2 5 jar and  usr share java jsp-api-2 1 jar on the class path like this    For all projects  by configuring Eclipse by selecting Window -  Preferences -  Java -  Installed JREs  then selecting the JRE you re using  pressing Edit  then pressing Add External JARs  and then by selecting the files from the locations given above  For just one project  by right-clicking on the project in the Project Explorer pane  then selecting Properties -  Java Build Path  and then pressing Add External JARs  and then by selecting the files from the locations given above    Further note 1  These are the correct versions of those libraries for use with Tomcat 6  for the other Tomcat versions  see the table on page http   tomcat apache org whichversion html  though I would suppose each Tomcat version includes the versions of these libraries that are appropriate for it   Further note 2  Package libservlet2 5-java s description  dpkg-query -s libservlet2 5-java  says   Apache Tomcat implements the Java Servlet and the JavaServer Pages  JSP  specifications from Sun Microsystems  and provides a  pure Java  HTTP web server environment for Java code to run  This package contains the Java Servlet and JSP library

The normal procedure with Eclipse and Java EE webapplications is to install a servlet container  Tomcat  Jetty  etc  or application server  Glassfish  which is bundled in the  Sun Java EE  download   JBoss AS  WebSphere  Weblogic  etc  and integrate it in Eclipse using a  builtin  plugin in the Servers view   During the creation wizard of a new Dynamic Web Project  you can then pick the integrated server from the list  If you happen to have an existing Dynamic Web Project without a server or want to change the associated one  then you need to modify it in the Targeted Rutimes section of the project s properties    Either way  Eclipse will automatically place the necessary server-specific libraries in the project s classpath  buildpath    You should absolutely in no way extract and copy server-specific libraries into  WEB-INF lib or even worse the JRE lib yourself  to  fix  the compilation errors in Eclipse  It would make your webapplication tied to a specific server and thus completely unportable
