I’ve been working on a java spring project for a few months now. I can compile it using maven. I can drop the war file into tomcat/webapps and it runs.
But I can no longer run the project from within Eclipse. I used to be able to. I’m not sure what happened, I think I may have done a mvn clean, but I haven’t been able to run as server.
I’m using Eclipse Helios, with maven plugins m2e and Maven integration for Eclipse WTP
I’m running Tomcat 6.0.29
This is the error I see when I try to run as->Run on server:

Your eclipse based tomcat installation cannot find the APR libraries. Adding the APR libraries path to the PATH Environment variable should fix this.
In case you are not using the APR libraries, disable them through tomcat’s server.xml
