I played around with wtp project (upstream eclipse and tomcat) a while
back and had some trouble myself getting tomcat to be accepted.

The issue seemed to be more with wtp not accepting the tomcat
installation directory when creating certain types of projects for some
reason. One project type I do recall working is Dynamic Web Project
(though it wasn't rpm installed).

Are you able to use /usr/share/tomcat5 using a Dynamic Web Project?
