I always get an 404 error. But that seems to be a problem with tomcat.
When I try to run the http-example under eclipse with the jetty-bundles
ans described at: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=140430
(get the projects descibed there in comment 24 from the eclipse-CVS or
from the attached files into your eclipse(same as with the
http-example); right-click on the project you want to run -> Run as ->
Run...; "Deselect All"; select the http-example project and the two
jetty-projects; click "Add required plugins"; Run; then go to
http://localhost/helloworld or http://localhost/helloworld.html)
it works fine.
It would be interresting if it runs with your tomcat, maybe there's
something wrong with my installation.
