I Have set up a dynamic web project in eclipse with a tomcat 5.5 installation.

I want to be to set the server to us the tomcat installation instead of the workspace metadata location but when eclipse displays the Overview screen for the server the Server locations section is disabled and therefore I am unable to change it.

The overview screen is displayed when you have the servers view open and you then double click on the server.

Is it possible to enable this part of the Overview screen or hack a config file to point at the tomcat installation?

+3  A: 

Ok, sorry for my previous answer, I had never seen that Overview screen before.

Here is how I did it:

  1. Right click on my tomcat server in "Servers" view, select "Properties…"
  2. In the "General" panel, click on the "Switch Location" button
  3. The "Location: [workspace metadata]" bit should have been replaced by something else.
  4. Open (or close and reopen) the Overview screen for the server.

These steps got me close, I also had to run a "clean" on the server.
