[Joe Pfeiffer]

Package: libtomcat8-java
Version: 8.5.14-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Attempted to run a new install of eclipse

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Upon making a fresh install of eclipse, I selected the default
workspace; when the Welcome window appeared I clicked on "Overview"
and then "Workbench basics".

   * What was the outcome of this action?

A popup appeared stating, "
HTTP ERROR: 500

Problem accessing /help/index.jsp. Reason:

    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tomcat/InstanceManager"
    
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

A window describing the eclipse workbench
