Eclipse Failing to Rebuild Project with Struts2 - eclipse

Question

I am new to struts, and I am having an issue when automatically rebuilding projects in Eclipse.
When using the Tomcat launcher, everything works fine with the jars in /WEB-INF/lib and my struts.xml in /WEB-INF/classes.
After I modify my source and the project goes to rebuild, Eclipse always throws errors saying that it cannot be restarted. Using Tomcat Launcher to restart the service works fine. I have tried moving the struts.xml file to /WEB-INF/src/, but it does not work either.
Here's the error message I get:
