FAQ
Q1: how to add/manage J2EE dependencies
In Eclipse Galileo there was a seperate entry for this in the project 'properties'. In Eclipse Helios this renamed to 'Deployment Assembly' Here you can also choose other projects to be included.
Q2: I get 404 errors when starting the server
This may happen if Eclipse destroys your WebContent/WEB-INF/web.xml to default. To solve this right-click WebContent/WEB-INF/web.xml and update to SVN. Then delete your web server from the 'Servers' pane and run on server again.
