title: Unable to start Tomcat 7 through Eclipse Kepler
body: <p>I have a webapp which references another local project and for some reason when I try to deploy this web app to tomcat through eclipse, tomcat isn't able to start. Within the stack I'm seeing class not found which is from my local project. Though I'm not too sure how to resolve this. I've attempted to reference this project and all relevant projects through 'Project References' for the 'Servers' and this doesn't seem to work. Has anyone dealt with this issue before or have any recommendations on how to resolve this. I've attached my pretty stack trace below. Thanks in advance for any help given.</p>
