Hi all !

I once had a Tomcat 5.5 and an Eclipse 3.2 that where running just fine and
then... the HDD crashed... I suffered no data lost but since then, I can't
start Tomcat anymore. The "server" view of Eclipse gives me the following
trace :

I eventually felt into Commons-logging / Log4j neighborhood jam ! The log
system of my servlet (Log4j) doesn't work anymore, but I don't bother
because it doesn't start anyway. But, regarding Tomcat's log system
re-launching, it's an usual concern : lots of people talk about that. But
neither them nor me can find a solution. Of course I've found a lot of
tutorials, but they can't help...

I have re-installed my workstation, indeed.

I've tried to launch Tomcat via another plugin, too. I gave Sysdeo a try :
Tomcat runs, loads the servlet, but doesn't run it and keeps quiet. No
servlet log, no exception, no result ("resource unavailable").

If someone could help me find a definitive answer to that classical
question... (other than "42", of course ;-).

Thanx a lot and excuse me for my poor English, I'm a little froggie.
