Error in deploying project with eclipse and tomcat - eclipse

I am not sure what is going on, but I am unable to deploy my project using eclipse... It worked a few days ago, and now I keep getting the same errors
Any help will be greatly appreciated... This is what I get:

ContextLoaderListeneris part of spring-web, so at first this should be visible under "Maven Dependencies" of your web project (and of course your web project has to be a dynamic web project with maven nature).
With eclipse "Kepler" we had the issue that after doing a "Maven->Update Project" the dependency resolution for the server start was lost.
Check with right-click on web project->Properties->Deployment Assembly. Maven Dependencies should be in the source column with WEB-INF/lib as target. Otherwise you have to add it with "Add..->Java Build Path Entries -> Maven Dependencies".

Simple Tomcat Servlet not loaded in Eclipse

I've been following the Servlet and JSP development with Eclipse WTP from vogella.com. I've installed Tomcat 7, copy-pasted the code (a simple Data Access Object and a simple HpptServlet), and started the server from eclipse.
When I open http://localhost:8080/de.vogella.wtp.filecounter/FileCounter in the web, the expected result is:
But I got a 404 error:
And this error log in the console:

Relevant information:
Tomcat runs OK from the command line (catalina run).
There is only one instance of Tomcat running at the same time.
I could not get any other Tomcat servlet to run from Eclipse.
Any idea why isn't tomcat running my simple Servlet?
Update: I'm using OSX
I suspect you are running tomcat using an own user - it's a common practice in unix systems - and that that user does not have read privilege to your home directory /Users/adamatan.
Then you could try to add the tomcat user to you the group your user belongs to.
Better yet try to change the server location as described in this so question to a location where eclipse has write access and the tomcat user has read access.
EDIT
Actually its a setting in the Dynamic Web Project wizard, If you choose Dynamic web module version 3.0 (which is default) or higher on the first page then on the last page the checkbox for Generate web.xml deployment descriptor is disabled by default. If you choose 2.5 or lower it is then enabled by default. It has nothing to do with which tomcat you are actually using. If you want to use annotations though, then you have to have tomcat 7 with servlet specs 3.0
It was a Tomcat 6 tutorial, and I was using Tomcat 7.
Eclipse did not create a web.xml file, because it was expecting annotations in the Java code. The tutorial code did not contain any annotations, so the server started without servlets.

SEVERE: Exception sending context destroyed event to listener instance of class org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.ResteasyBootstrap

I'm trying to configure the development environment for a homework. I've installed Apache Maven, Apache Tomcat and Eclipse Juno (Java EE), and the needed plugin. I've followed the wiki provided with the code of the project. The sources are imported via SVN. I've installed all the missing libraries and I've set the classpaths. However, when I select Run on server, I always get this error:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\logs\localhost_access_log.2012-07-12.txt (Access is denied)

I'm trying to test my servlet by running it on Tomcat. However, I get the above error (sometimes this error occurs, but earlier the servlet was running fine). A few facts:
I've looked thoroughly at the explanations given by this similar problem, as well as in here, and here
When I attempt to restart Tomcat (from within Eclipse's "Servers" tab), I get some error log from the console:
"SEVERE: Failed to open access log file [~\Tomcat 7.0\logs\localhost_access_log.2012-07-12.txt]" and at the very end of the log output, there's "INFO: SessionListener: sessionDestroyed('E9A6117FDF54752D80A1B9B72F2B83D3') -- see more info at the bottom of this text
I've looked at my log files at " C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\logs" and there is not file with contents similar to the ones in item (2) above
I 'deploy' my application through Eclipse (that is, during development, I depend on Eclipse to start Tomcat), only doing a real deployment when I have a stable version of my project by copying the appropriate java class files into Tomcat's /webapps/WEB-INF/classes folder and restarting Tomcat
and most importantly,
5. Typing in "http://localhost:8080" leads me to the Tomcat homepage (so I'm pretty sure the server is running), whereas "http://localhost:8080/MyProjectName/MyServlet" in the browser leads to the error shown this question's title.
Any ideas/help?
Thank you very much!

only doing a real deployment when I have a stable version of my project by copying the appropriate java class files into Tomcat's /webapps/WEB-INF/classes folder and restarting Tomcat
Stop right there: you should never put any files into webapps/WEB-INF and expect anything good to come of it. Deploy your webapp properly, using a well-accepted packaging such as a WAR file or an exploded-WAR structure into the webapps directory.
Second, the problem is obvious: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\logs\localhost_access_log.2012-07-12.txt (Access is denied). Your Tomcat can't write to that file. Just because you are an admin doesn't mean that Tomcat can write to that directory: Tomcat doesn't play well with UAC as far as I know and you are trying to write to Program Files which generally requires some ugly UI credentials-entry hack.
So, check your file (and directory) permissions. Check the uid of the Tomcat process: make sure they are all good. Finally, consider using CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE (read the documentation for how to do that) to fix all of your permissions issues.

Thanks.
Ignore the browser message and look at the stacktrace - Exception starting filter struts2 java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FileDispatcher.
The web application has not started. Once this is fixed, then see if the browser displays the same message.
