How to Setup Eclipse to Start Writing Web Services using Axis2

Question

Dear Gurus

I am a .net Developer but now a days i want to setup Eclipse to write a sample web services to test the capacity of Java/Axis over WCF/BasicHttpBindings. I found a couple of articles regarding the setup procedures but they are too old or their wording is may be for java or eclipse experts.

Can anyone please give me detailed instruction on how can I get to work quickly. I tried my best but i can't even setup TomCat properly its not starting and throwing exception when i try to start it from eclipse servers windows.

Please some one give me a latest and novice level article.

Regards
