Timeouts when launching tomcat in eclipse

Sometimes, when launching tomcat in eclipse over a slow internet connection, you might face a timeout, especially if tomcat is trying to establish connections to database servers. In such cases, you can increase the timeout value as follows:
* Right click on the 'Tomcat Server' in your 'Servers' tab in the 'Fast View'
* Click on 'Open'
* Expand the 'Timeouts' tab and specify a higher value for 'Start'
