title: Why are the GWT web applications are opened in port 8888 instead of 8080
body: <p>I am using eclipse and I have configured Tomcat in eclipse,I start the service by makimg use of startup.bat file of the server and I open tomcat home page in browser , as Tomcat is running on port 8080 everything works fine in this case &amp; also when I run any web application from eclipse, but when I run a GWT application from the eclipse the application is opened on port 8888.</p>
  
  <p>I have checked the tomcat configuration in eclipse and the port of tomcat is 8080 itself in server.xml as well as in the configuration settings which you can see by double clicking on the existing server</p>
  
  <p>My doubt is why are GWT applications opened on port 8888 instead of 8080, also if I want can I change something and make the GWT applications work on port 8080.</p>
