Tomcat admin console.

Eclipse handles its own builds. If you have a build.xml for your project, which you should (or the 
equivalent Maven or Gradle configuration), then you can build from the command line and from 
Eclipse, plus Eclipse can be configured to drive its build from the build.xml.

The normal way (i.e., not through Eclipse) to install an application in Tomcat is via the WAR file that 
your project builds. Use the Tomcat managment console to deploy the WAR and Tomcat does the rest.

You should not deploy raw classes to Tomcat (or other Java EE container). Too many things get omitted 
that way. Deploy via WAR.
