It's been a (long) while, but IIRC you need to have the JavaEE plugins 
installed in eclipse to get tomcat integration. For development purposes 
a non-ports version of tomcat is likely preferable, because eclipse 
expects a standard directory layout.

Even without eclipse integration, you should be able to build your 
project, take the resulting .war file and deploy it manually in tomcat.
