I have dimly heard of various tools for testing servlets in Eclipse but did not know which was best and exactly for what?
What, within Eclipse, enables testing of servlets?

Moving this to the "IDEs, Version Control and other tools" forum as this is clearly an Eclipse related topic.

Benjamin,
To test the servlet "for real", you need to deploy it to a server and test it. There are many Eclipse plugins for Tomcat - a free lightweight server. (Seach this forum for details.)
You also may be interested in writing automated tests. You can use JUnit to unit test the servlet passing it a mock request from easyMock/jMock. You can integration test the servlet on the server using Cactus or JWebUnit.
