The term "Apache server" usually means the Apache Web Server, httpd, not the
Tomcat application server of which you speak here.

As has been pointed out before in this thread, Tomcat applications (servlets)
do reference the usual Java packages and libraries, in the usual places, as
defined for the application server and very, very well documented on the
Tomcat web site.

Especially if you read the linked documentation.

Nope. You don't start Web projects with a WAR file - a WAR file is the
product of the project.
When you ask Eclipse to build the project, it's either building a WAR file or
the equivalent uncompressed directory structure subsidiary to a build directory.
I seem to recall that Eclipse, like NetBeans, builds the WAR file from your
project source, but I might be wrong - you might have to explicitly ask
Eclipse to do that. Why not take a look at the destination directory, i.e.,
the distribution directory specified in your Eclipse project, after a build?
