I'm trying to follow this tutorial and create a simple "Dynamic Web Project" in Eclipse (Mars): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYc3FjhMMzI The project contains: aboutus.jsp, login.jsp, videos.jsp, welcome.jsp, Login.java(Servlet)
I'm running on port 8081 because 8080 was already used.
If I set the location for Tomcat in "General" properties to: [workspace metadata] per this thread: TOMCAT - HTTP Status 404 The server will start and browser (Firefox 57.0.4) will launch but I'll recieve a "404" error.
If I set the location for Tomcat in "General" properties to: /Servers/Tomcat v8.0 Server at location.server by pressing the "Switch Location" button and in the "Overview" for Tomcat set "Use Tomcat installation (takes control of Tomcat installation)" per this thread: Tomcat started in Eclipse but unable to connect to http://localhost:8085/ then the server won't launch and I'll get the error message:
'Starting Tomcat Server v8.0 Server at localhost' has encountered a problem. Server Tomcat at localhost failed to start.
When I press the "Details" button, I just get: "Server Tomcat v8.0 Server at localhost failed to start."
I recieve the following in the console:
WARNING: [SetPropertiesRule]{Server/Service/Engine/Host/Context} Setting property 'source' to 'org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:LoginModule' did not find a matching property.
SEVERE: A child container failed during start java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/LoginModule]]

SEVERE: Failed to destroy end point associated with ProtocolHandler ["http-nio-8081"] java.lang.NullPointerException
SEVERE: Failed to destroy end point associated with ProtocolHandler ["ajp-nio-8009"] java.lang.NullPointerException
The following line in my: aboutus.jsp, login.jsp, videos.jsp and welcome.jsp is NOT being syntax colored.
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
I pressed: ctrl + chift + f to format those files as html but whenever I close and reopen the project they return to unformatted.
