Several people including myself are using Tomcat 5.5.x as our
deployment app server.  I also use it in development on my local
workstation.

I recommend searching the list for Tomcat (we're almost always talking
about Tomcat 5.0+)

I use Eclipse WTP with a Tomcat. With Tapestry 5+, It is suggested to
use Maven to handle your jar dependencies.  HLS recommends Mavan
2.0.5, but I use 2.0.6 with no problems.

In order for Eclipse to pick up the jars referenced in your Maven POM,
you need a classpath variable like this:

M2_REPO
C:/Documents and Settings/Username/.m2/repository

You can start your application by running the Tapestry Archetype
command from your workspace (in a console/cmd window)

Also, whenever you update your POM/ update the libraries with
Maven/start a new app, you'll want to execute this command from the
directory of you project's POM (if you use WTP):

mvn eclipse:eclipse -Dwtpversion=1.5 -U

I don't use the LibCopy plugin, or any 3rd party Eclipse Maven plugin.
 I just let Maven regenerate the eclipse files as needed, using the
above command.  The -U tells maven to look for updates for libraries
referenced in your POM, using the repositories listed in your POM.

Maven is a real timesaver, except for particular libraries that don't
publish to a public maven repository, like newer versions of iText,
etc.  There is a free Maven book online, which teaches you everything
you'll ever need to know.
