Fedora: setup Tomcat+Eclipse+GCJ environment

[Eric Damien]

Greetings. I've been using fedora (6,7) for quite a time now,   for c++ 
and regular java (gcj) programming.  Now, I want to develop web 
application, using eclipse and tomcat. I installed Fedora eclipse and 
the tomcat packages. I downloaded the sysdeo plugin and that's where 
things started to go wrong: starting tomcat service on its own, I can 
acces the "http://localhost:8080" page. I setup sysdeo plugin but when I 
press the "srat tomcat" button, this is what I receive in the console of 
eclipse:
