title: Start app from eclipse on Tomcat 9
body: <p>I've the following scenario:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Windows 10</li>
  <li>Eclipse Oxygen.3</li>
  <li>Apache Tomcat 9.0.6</li>
  <li>JRE 9.0.4</li>
  <li>An external java app</li>
  <li>NO MAVEN</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I've import the project using the "File > Open Projects from File System" option. After that, this is my app tree:</p>

  <p>So this is the steps I've followed:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Window > Preferences > Installed JREs > select JRE 9.0.4</li>
  <li>Window > Preferences > Server > Add > Apache Tomcat 9 > tomcat_install_dir + JRE 9.0.4 + add app</li>
  <li>Publish + Start Tomcat</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Trying to access localhost:8081, I can see the Apache Tomcat main page. I assign all roles to a user in tomcat-users.xml, so I can access to localhost:8080/manager/html and see all deployed applications, including my app.</p>

  <p>But, when I try to access to my app, I receive a 404 error, but there's no error in Tomcat logs.</p>
  
  <p>Searching in Tomcat's deploy folder (C:\Program Files\Tomcat9.0\wtpwebapps\app\WEB-INF) I just have a <strong>classes</strong> folder. No static content, no js,no css, no jsp, no lib,.. nothing except classes folder:</p>

  <p>Any ideas about why Tomcat doesn't deploy the other folders? This is the main cause of my 404, I guess.</p>
