The path to the tomcat installation (along with other tomcat settings) depend heavily on the system that is used. When working with multiple users on a single project using some version control system, the tomcat settings are copied along with the other project settings resulting in confusion and lost .war files.

The Tomcat path and settings should be in the WebDSL settings, as they are not specific to each project but specific to the user, Eclipse installation and environment.
