Birt web viewer tries to launch the manupilate the instance of tomcat app server
in order to preview the user's report. It uses embedded Tomcat 4.1.30 plugin,
which implements the interface org.eclipse.help.internal.appserver.IWebappServer.

As part of the IBM Rational certification, we can not use those interanl APIs.

Tomcat is a replacable implematation of IWebappServer.  It is not intended to 
be relied upon API.
