		<item title="Manage Tomcat Work Directories">
			<description>
			   Need to clean Tomcat's work directories? Two new menu items in the Servers view
			   allow you to <b>Clean Tomcat Work Directory</b> or <b>Clean Module Work Directory</b>
			   without leaving Eclipse.

		<item title="Configure Tomcat's Paths">
			<description>
			   There are new user settable paths for the Tomcat server (with server editor UI
			   still under development).
			   The <b>Server path</b> allows you to specify a separate instance of the Tomcat server
			   at a location of your choice.
			   The <b>Deploy path</b> allows you avoid using the "webapps" directory and the
			   complications that arise with auto-deployment and default web applications.
			   <br/>

		<item title="Publish Clean">
			<description>
			   The Servers view has a new <b>Clean...</b> option which will perform a
			   "clean" publish on the server. Much like clean builds, this will remove
			   any invalid resources from the server before doing a full republish.
			   <br/>

		<item title="Create Server With Runtime">
			<description>
			   When you create a runtime you can now create a server at the same time.
			   If this option is available for the runtime you're creating, just select
			   the <b>Also create new local server</b> option at the bottom of the dialog.
