Download the latest release of the com4j library from https://com4j.dev.java.net. Unzip the download package and copy the files com4j.jar and com4j.dll into the folder [your Tomcat directory]/lib. Then, open the Eclipse server view with Window/Show View/Servers.
Right click on the Tomcat server and select “Add and Remove Projects” from the context menu.
