Works for me. What java version are you using?

seems like it's nearly working. my tomcat-users.xml has the entries already, apparently imported when I created the server in eclipse. did you restartet the server after editing?

found a solution. the problem is like I said the webapps-folder within the workspace and the missing manager app. you need to add the folowing line to the server.xml in your workspaces server/tomcat folder
... <Context antiJARLocking="false" antiResourceLocking="false" docBase="C:/Program Files/apache-tomcat/webapps/webapps/manager" path="/manager" privileged="true" reloadable="false"/> </Host> </Engine> </Service> </Server>
and restart the server

Don't know if you kept in mind that from within eclipse the webapps gets deployed temporarily inside the workspace, for me it's .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps

After changing the port to 80 I get the same exception, maybe because it's default http-port. You should simply use another port.

works for me, but are you sure about the port 80 in tomcat.manager.url in the build.properties because default it's 8080, unless you changed it in tomcat's server.xml

You should either use type declarations like this:
<xs:element name="configuration"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="property" type="propertyType" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" /> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:complexType name="propertyType"> <xs:sequence> <xs:choice> ... </xs:choice> </xs:sequence> <xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string" use="required" /> </xs:complexType>
or leave out the name-attribute when using the ref-attribute:
<xs:element name="configuration"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element ref="property" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" /> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element>
