I can run an Eclipse project from command line but I cannot run it via Eclipse

Question

I built an Eclipse project via mvn package and moved the war file into C:\\Program Files\\apache-tomcat-8.0.9\\webapps .
Then, I start Tomcat Server via startup.bat and can access it from http://localhost:8080/myProject .

On the other hand, when build the project and run it on server in Eclipse, http://localhost:8080/myProject give me HTTP Status 404 - /myProject

I tried many things but none of them didn't solve the problem.

What I'm missing?

You need not give specify the context name, since you are not specifying any context in developement mode.

You have two options.

Either remove context name and access like

 http://localhost:8080

Or

If you want to add context, add the file jetty-web-xml along with your web-xml

<?xml version="1.0"  encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Mort Bay Consulting//DTD Configure//EN" 
"http://jetty.mortbay.org/configure.dtd"> 
<Configure class="org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext"> 

      <Set name="contextPath">/myProject </Set>  

</Configure>
