At the beginning. :-)  Let's say I already have an existing webapp*
that I'd like to try work on in Eclipse. What kind of "project" is
that? How do I bring that into Eclipse's world?

* said webapp being various servlets, JSPs, Beans, utility classes
that set application properties from web.xml or property files or
from the database, Filters, XML and XSLT files, etc., etc.

OK, I've just downloaded Lomboz (thanks, Marcus!) but reading the
tutorials...

Right off the get-go this looks bizarre. To debug JSPs, you have to
both change a Tomcat config parameter and *install a patch* to TC?
No, thanks. :-)  I try to keep my development environment as similar
to the deployment environment as possible.

But if Eclipse even helped with debugging servlets, that'd be good.
So if you have tips on setting up a "project" as described above,
they'd be appreciated.
