[news.eclipse.newcomer] How do I test servlets?

[jmbramich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (JB)]

Hi,

I'm a Lotus Notes/Domino developer and I'm looking for a 'proper' IDE to 
write java code in.

I'm trying NetBeans and Eclipse. I PREFER the Eclipse environment however, 
I can't figure out how to test servlets.

Netbeans comes with Tomcat installed (even has a servlet template) and I 
can just run my class and it will kick off tomcat and preview my servlet 
output.

Eclipse seems a bit tougher...
- I've downloaded Tomcat 5.0.28
- I've downloaded the Sysdeo Tomcat plugin.
- I've (possibly) configured Tomcat within Eclips - it does start ok.

But I can't figure out how to reference my servlet in the browser. There 
also seems to be no way to launch a 'preview' from eclipse itself.

Any help would be appreciated as I'd prefer to stick with eclipse than 
netbeans.
