Answer 1

I had similar issue. This is what worked for me:

1. When the path begins with slash like: "/Servers/Tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar" it means that the local project is refered. In the picture - I had 'pivotal-tc-server-developer-3.2.8.RELEASE' as the name of the project.

2. Open the project ('Servers' in your case or 'pivotal-tc-server-developer-3.2.8.RELEASE') so it is accessible to Eclipse.

3. The jar should be now visible.

Alternatively go into Run Configurations; delete jars, and add it as an external jar.
