I've created a new web project with a fresh src/main/webapp/index.jsp and
src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml .
This project, however, wont deploy from inside eclipse (using 'Run on
Server'). A quick 'ls
~/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp0/wtpwebapps/mywebproject'
yields a blank directory. However, when I create a new war file and run
tomcat manually, and deploy the war file manually, everything works fine.
