Alternatively you can use Jetty which is (now) part of the Eclipe Platform (the Help system is running Jetty). Besides Jetty is used by Android, Windows Mobile..

You need to install a plugin  There is a free one from the eclipse foundation called the Web Tools Platform  It has all the development functionality that you ll need   You can get the Java EE Edition of eclipse with has it pre-installed   To create and run your first servlet    New    Project    Dynamic Web Project  Right click the project    New Servlet  Write some code in the doGet   method  Find the servers view in the Java EE perspective  it s usually one of the tabs at the bottom  Right click in there and select new Server  Select Tomcat X X and a wizard will point you to finding the installation  Right click the server you just created and select Add and Remove    and add your created web project  Right click your servlet and select Run   Run on Server      That should do it for you  You can use ant to build here if that s what you d like but eclipse will actually do the build and automatically deploy the changes to the server  With Tomcat you might have to restart it every now and again depending on the change
