I have the same problem. Looks like Eclipse launches Tomcat in a special mode in which the admin/console is not available.

"Eclipse" doesn't do Tomcat. Tomcat support for Eclipse comes from a Tomcat plugin.

Unfortunately, the plugin that comes with the standard J2EE bundle for Eclipse (WTP) is not very transparent, which is why I don't use it. I use the sysdeo Tomcat plugin, instead.
