Tomcat Not Starting Through Eclipse (Timeout)

Question

I am trying to run Tomcat through Eclipse. This is something that I have done for the past several years. It was working yesterday and now it is not. The error I get is

Answer 1

In my case, I had disabled the HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 in favor of an SSLEnabled (https) HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443.

I'm not sure if the Eclipse/Tomcat communication was failing because of the wrong port or the wrong protocol, but when I added the HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 back into my server.xml (in addition to the secure connector on port 8443), Eclipse was able to correctly detect Tomcat's successful startup.

It appears that for Eclipse to recognize that Tomcat has successfully started, Tomcat must be configured to have a non-SSL Connector on port 8080.
